3.3.1 Use of CDC from a computers
CDC is the most used planetary application used by the astrophotographers to the gross control of
the telescope. It is available also for Apple Macintosh computers and for Linux based PCs. The
procedure to connect the StarGO2 to CdC is the following:
1. After the launch of CdC in the remote, in the main menu click on Setup and, in the
dropdown list choose General. The General window will pop up. Select the Telescope panel
(see Figure 3.11 of section 3.2).
2. In this window select the ASCOM item (even if we are well aware that ASCOM environment
does not exist for Macs and Linux computers). The click Apply and OK to exit the window.
3. Now open the “ASCOM telescope interface” window by clicking on the Connect Telescope
icon (the small dome with the red dot – see Figure 3.12 od section 3.2)
4. Fill all the fields with the needed information windows that appears that will be similar for
all three operating systems (see Figures 3.24a, b, c). Note that the information required is
the same. The only difference is that the Mac panel lacks the virtual keypad to manually
operate the telescope. In case of need use the connected keypad for this purpose.
