The use of StarGO in an ASCOM environment with the more popular compatible software
applications is described in detail in a specific document (StarGO – Third Party Software
Use – Instruction Manual).
Note: Before launching StarGO be sure that the ASCOM platform is installed in the
PC (
http://download.ascom-standards.org/ASCOMPlatform62.exe
). If this is not done, the
program will abort and the Run-Time error message “429” will be generated. Upon
special request Avalon Instrument could supply a version of StarGO not needing the
ASCOM platform.
The StarGO software is provided in a USB flash drive. The software installer file, called
“Install StarGo_xxx.exe”, is located in the folder "
Installer-Tutorial-Software
".
The step by step software installation procedure, on a Windows 8 computer, is the following:
1. Launch the “Install StarGo_xxx.exe” application (xxx is the installer version number).
The installation language chooser will appear. The “InstallWizard StarGo” windows
will appear. Choose the preferred language and than OK:
2. The installation splash screen will appear containing the StarGO GoTo Control
System Setup Wizard welcome window. Click Next:
