Green Swamp Software for Synta mounts.

#1

Post by Gordon »


I was wondering if anyone was using Green Swamp Software to run their Synta mounts? I have used EQMOD for the last 15 or so years and never looked for anything else. But today I found out about https://greenswamp.org/.

Green Swamp Server (GSS) is a driver for ASCOM telescope support and the Synta Protocol. It supports the SkyWatcher and Orion mounts: EQ8, EQ8-R, HDX110, AZ-EQ5GT, Sirius Pro AZ/EQ-G, AZ-EQ6GT, Orion Atlas Pro AZ/EQ-G, Atlas II EQ-G , EQ6-R PRO, NEQ6, HEQ5, EQ5, EQ4, AzGTi, and others.

I downloaded it and played with the simulator. It looks like I will give it a try next time out and see how it does.

I've used it for years with my Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro mount.

Nothing but a good experience. I have only used it for basic mount control functions and have not used the multitude of other features. It has been rock solid!
