Selecting the appropiate driver for your mount usually depends on two factors:
Mount | Driver | Connection Method | Comments |
|
|
|
When connecting to your mount via Nexstar Handset (HC), there is a single driver (Celestron GPS). The rest of the drivers (e.g. Celestron CPC..etc) are aliases to the base Celestron GPS driver. You must power and align your mount using the handset using any supported alignment method (e.g. SkyAlign). Without aligning your mount first, the driver will not connect to the handset. |
|
|
WiFi (No handset is required). |
WiFi drivers automatically try to connect to the mount over WiFi (Default IP address 1.2.3.4 using TCP port 2000). If your mount is using a different IP address, set it in the Connection tab of the INDI driver. Handset is not required and no alignment is necessary before establishing connection to the mount. If using a Wedge, make sure to only select "Evolution WiFi Wedge" driver. |
