Paul B Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Sky is clearing fingers crossed All set up just waiting for some Darkness. Quick question for the more advanced than myself. Is stellarium the best software for scope control or is there a better option? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Most people seem to use Cartes du Ciel, I have in the past and it works well.. Paul B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDC It fails a lot less than Stellarium but the graphics of CDC are not as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 The cloud was my fault last night. I should know better than to put a scope in the observatory before dark and under clear skies, wall to wall cloud after dark here. Cdc is good I use Sky map pro, works well and tons of databases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 It's been bad darn sarf. I managed a solar session yesterday which I haven't finished processing. The prospects for the rest of the week are poor. In my case, I'm now getting up at 6 for work, so can only get dark skies on Friday and Saturday. Thank God for solar viewing this time of year.
