Good morning Daniel, and the group. The iOptron has a USB port and comes with a USB cable. I hope there is a solution for controlling the scope with a...
Hi Terry, The iOptron uses the Silicon Labs Mac OS X driver for the CP210x. The iOptron then presents itself to the Mac as a serial port. Even though serial...
Steve, thank you for staying with the thread. It appears Scope Driver can run the mount. But what about using The Sky X, or Starry Night 6 Pro, or Equinox?...
Had another crash - this time it was the window shade of death and required a Power restart. I had just installed a new driver for the CP2101 - and it showed...

The setup is flaky and I am not sure how well it works - still cloudy here so I can't actually confirm what the scope is doing. But at least to some degree I...
Hi Terry, It definitely looks like the Silicon Labs driver is the source if your kernel panic. I would take this up with Silicon Labs. Do you have any other...

David, I laughed out loud when I read your comment about that setting for keeping (or not) the telescope crosshairs on the screen - SAE's inability to remember...
Ralph, Yes, I was definitely remiss in not mentioning how responsive TSX-SAE is. Quick like a bunny! I do not see any way to buy TPoint at this time. I sort of...
