Using Nexus-II with SkySafari Plus/Pro
This document describes how to setup your Nexus-II with your iPhone/iPad/iPod
touch using default factory settings.
1.
Please go to 'Setting' then 'Wi-Fi' on your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch. You will see
'NexusII_XXXXX there (where XXXXX is the serial number of your Nexus found on
the back of Nexus), select it.
Nexus-II will be connected in a few moments.
2. Run SkySafari Plus/Pro, go to 'Settings' -> 'Telescope' -> Setup'.
Under 'Communication Settings': set the 'IP address' to
10.0.0.1, 'Port Number' to 4060. Set 'Scope Type' to 'Basic
Encoder System'.
The 'Readout Rate' can be either set to '10 per second' for
reduced lag or it can be set to default '4 per second'.
3.
Set 'Mount Type' to 'Alt-Azimuth Push-To' for example.
Under 'Encoder Steps Per revolution' set both 'RA/Azm' and
'Dec/Alt' to the number of steps per revolution of your
corresponding encoders (10000 in this example). Please
turn off 'Get Automatically'.
