A friend gave me his recently and I'm the worst newbie you've ever seen. No concept of why this morning for the eclipse I lined up on north, tried to Castor and the silly scope went to exactly the wrong part of the sky. I think maybe I need to change my settings to make it an alt-az mount. But watching the eclipse (manually controlling) and even seeing sunspots was really cool. New subscriber

I have the 6SE and using a USB connection with CPWI is a much more stable solution compared with the WiFi-iPad route. The one thing I don’t like about this setup is that the directional arrow keys on the hand controller (HC) are disabled. Since the StarSense HC has the plate-solving circuitry, I use it to connect to CPWI and use the extra HC for fine alignment as needed. Works like a charm.

@winterpatriot1429 Год назад

Hey, sir. Have you used the altitude limit function yet? I think I saw that while selecting the cord wrap option, and was wondering if you’d used it, or ever had an issue while automatically slewing to a target and having the eyepiece or camera ever bump the base of the mount. Enjoyed the video. Probably watched it 6-8 times now, and waiting on favorable weather to get outside. Have a good one!

@winterpatriot1429 Год назад

Enjoyed the video, sir! Still learning, and this was helpful. I just received my 8SE two days ago, and it brought rain and bad summer Oklahoma weather with it. So, I’m still waiting. 🤷‍♂️ I had a quick question though (2 parts) that I’d like to run by you: Once the scope has “gone-to” the object, will it track continuously (for EAA purposes)? And, would I be able to run CPWI for scope control, and open/use SharpCap for ZWO camera/live stacking? Any advice or experience you have is greatly appreciated. Just retired from the Air Force, and wife told me to get a hobby. I chose this. 😃 (I grew up not far from Dallas, so I know about the weather! 👍 Same here in OK. Thanks for your helpful videos!)

I'm new to Celestron 8SE and have looked at most alignment tools, cellphone, laptop. My question is that you seem to always be in alignment. Do you ever have to touch the scope focus knob? Can you touch and play with the focus knob at all since youre giving directions to the scope from the cell or Laptop?

@mathersdavid5113 Год назад

Great video. One question. When you have finished alignment and GOTO an object which proves not to be centered in the field of view, how do you re-position it? The slew buttons seem to disappear after alignment is done.

@AstroExplorers Год назад

There should be an option to pull up the slew buttons in the software. You can also use the hand controller.

@pphuff 6 месяцев назад

Hi Mike...good tutorial but you mention using Polaris (or a compass at video time 7:57) to find north. What you need to align is true north (Polaris only)...not magnetic north as with a compass unless at your particular location where true and magnetic are the same. There are some parts of the US where true north and magnetic north can vary up to +-30 degrees. Thoughts?

@winterpatriot1429 Год назад

Sir, I have CPWI and SharpCap installed, among other software (prefer those two so far). Am new to EAA, and wanted to ask - If I use CPWI to align the scope (8SE on original mount), can I do that and then work camera using SharpCap concurrently? Nothing but crap weather here (Oklahoma) in the evenings, so no telling when I’ll get to try it. Or .. how do I run camera from CPWI? I’ve tried looking up camera control in the software manual, but it only seems to reference Star Sense Camera .. nothing for imaging. Have a good one!

@aronbortaneous2331 Год назад

Thanks - can't wait to try this out. One question: after you do this setup, can you unplug the laptop & controller and will the scope keep the alignment? (and you would use the hand controller from there)

@AstroExplorers Год назад

No, you'll still need to use the laptop for all the go to functionality. The hand controller does not keep the alignment from the laptop.

@normbastien3050 Год назад

There is a PARK setting in CPWI. I always park it in the same place which is on the horizon and facingTRUE North. CPWI will remember that and if you do not move the telescope, the next time you connect the laptop and power up both laptop and 8SE, and START on CPWI, it will carry on from where you left off.

@stephenbaldassano3788 Год назад

@@AstroExplorers Thanks for the reply. I think I am missing something in the open dialogue box in the mount configuration. When I scroll down within that specific box, there are two options available at the bottom of the window, “Accept” and “Reset” - I do not see a saved feature. I will try again tonight. In addition, when I researched the manual for the telescope under the hand controller, page 24 of the Celestron 6SE & 8SE Instruction Manual (2016 version); there is a option under MENU-SCOPE SETUP-CORDWARP and your can toggle this feature ON or OFF. I set it to ON. After that, regardless of the software setting the telescope worked properly and reversed direction as to avoid wrapping the cord. Just FYI! Keep up the great videos. PS - will look at the software again for the “save” button.

@stephenbaldassano3788 Год назад

Greetings Again, no "save" option just "accept" which doesn't work. I will have to email Celestron support. In addition, you must toggle on the cord wrap using the hand controller before you plug in the usb cable and connect to the computer.

Yes, if you're using the go to functionality in the software, it should follow along. Unfortunately, there can be some drift after 5 to 10 minutes depending on how closely you centered the objects you used for alignment.

@degama01 4 месяца назад

I bought a Celestron Nexstar 8SE mount but I am having trouble connecting it to my PC which is running Windows 11. I Installed the prolific driver and CPWI and the firmware updater CFM. I could not get them to communicate with the handset which I attached to the computer with a USB cable. I reinstalled the Prolific Driver {PL23XX_M_LongoDriver_Setup_408_20220725}, and CPWI. Still did not work. So I downloaded CFM updater again and ran the CFM Jar file. It says it recognizes the USB ports on the computerbut that the telescope is not connected. I get the same message in CPWI (Celeston's telescope software). I followed the suggestion in the firmware update CFM: I turned off my telescope and plugged the hand controller into the computer. The hand controller says Verifying packages, then initialize. I turn on the telescope power while holding down the Celestron button and #7. The hand controller says “Menu, Tracking” not “Bootloader” as it is supposed to. So neither the CFM nor the CPWI can communicate with the hand controller. Could something be wrong with the hand controller? When I turn the telescope on with the hand controller only plugged in it seems to work fine. Any help is greatly appreciated.

@mikehaas7 Год назад

I'm a bit confused. I installed the Prolific driver and then CPWI and then ASCOM. I went back and did some searching and found that ASCOM should have been installed first. Do I even need it? I'm reasonably certain you have to have the Prolific driver. In any event I could not connect. I'm going to try again with CPWI *only* without ASCOM and then I'll reply with the results. There is a terrific amount of conflicting information, likely due to the fact that the serial programmer's cable is no longer needed.

@mikehaas7 Год назад

Ok, we're connected. I had a hardware problem. I'm going to be using an Insignia 4 port USB 3.0 hub instead of WiFi (for now) and that weird SATA 2-pin connector to the hub, the same type that WD uses on its external HDs, kept coming loose and dropping - actually it wouldn't establish a clean connection. I gorilla-taped that sucker so it wouldn't come loose and voila, we're golden. The software other than the Prolific drive had to be installed in the following order: Java - ASCOM - CPWI and it finally worked.

@mikehaas7 Год назад

The other issue with connectivity is that the Surface Pro 8 has USB-C ports instead of USB-A and MS's implementation of USB-C on that device has known issues. That said, at some point I'll be going with the ASIAir.
