With a little calculation, you could move your SMP location towards your view direction, to take account of your "height of eye". This link tells you all about...
Tried the ASCOM drivers, SM didn't appear to recognize them but I didn't put too much effort into it. Then I tried a Meade-wed combination of another star...
... There are only a small number of possibilities: 1. The PC's serial port. Is it a USB serial port? Do you have any other means of testing it? 2. The cable....
Hello... I have the 18 CD set of RealSky. I was looking on the Skymap website and it indicates that Skymap can "manipulate" the images of RealSky. that is,...
Hi Mike, SkyMap contains its own functions for unpacking the data from the RealSky CDs, and can superimpose a RealSky image on top of a SkyMap chart. It will ...
Kevin, If I've done the math correctly, the angle of the horizon (assume the Earth is 4000 miles in radius) is: arcsin(4000/(4000+h)) where h is your height...

Hello Chris, Perhaps you are already using these magnitude formula for mercury and venus, in that case, just 'delete' it: ...

That sounds like an error in TheSky. Can you use something like POTH to open an ASCOM connection to TheSky? I guess the Paramount has to be connected to TheSky...
If you have "The Sky" you can connect it to your Paramount using the "THe Sky Controlled Telescope" driver and then connect SkyMap Pro 11 by using its "ASCOM"...
