EQStarProEQ5 User Guide

6. Control with Mobile Cell Phone or Tablet.

For control via an Android cellphone or tablet, the telescope mount needs to be set up with mount axis

stepper motors and cabling to the EQStarPro as specified in section 3.1 and 3.2. SyncScan Pro is

required on the cellphone to control the mount via WiFi, and the cellphone needs to be connected to

the EQStarPro WiFi network (SSID name EQStarPro). The SynScan Pro app for Android is supplied with

the EQStarProEQ5 CD, and is also available on the Goggle Play app store.

SynScanPro is sufficient to enable mount alignment and goto based on its list of stars or deep sky objects

or a specific RA/DEC coordinate. Alternately, the SkySafari 6.0+ planetarium app can be used to control

goto functionality by connecting that app to a running version of SynScanPro.

Other supported mobile applications include Orion StarSeek, DSOPlanner or others.

6.1. Install SynScan Pro

Install SynScan Pro from the CD supplied with the EQStarProEQ5 kit, or from the Google App Store.

Note that this application only works with Android 10 and lower according to the current Google

Play App Store notes. Those notes suggest getting a newer version of SynScan Pro from the SynScan

Pro product web site for newer versions of Android.

6.2. Set Telescope in Polar Home Position

Set the telescope and mount in the polar home position with the mount leveled, weights pointing

straight down, and telescope tube pointed toward Polaris. The LXD75 mount (and likely others) has

arrows on the mount axes that align when this position is reached.

6.3. Turn on WiFi and EQStarPro

Turn WiFi mode via the switch on the front panel of the unit and turn on the EQStarPro power. After

power on you will hear a beep, indicating the EQStarPRO mount is ready for control, and the WiFi

mode indicator LED will be lit.

6.4. Connect to WiFi SSID EQStarPro

Connect the cell phone to the WiFi network with the SSID EQStarPro. Start the SynScan Pro

application. You should see the SynScan Pro home screen indicating a connection to an 'EQ6'

mount. After connecting to the EQStarPro, set the observer location in the app (settings -> location),

then go through the alignment procedure available from the SynScan Pro app 'alignment' icon.

Further operation of this application is beyond the scope of this manual, but a downloadable PDF

manual for SynScan Pro is available from their web site.

6.5. Start a Viewing Session

A viewing session requires first unparking the mount via SynScan Pro with the telescope in the polar

home position. At the end of a viewing session, return the telescope to the polar home position by

parking it again in SynScan Pro.
