and select "System" then "Device Manager" (name may change depending on the version of the operating system).
There’s a list of devices, double-click on "COM Ports" and note the COM port number associated with the receiver
and the mount. You can now close this window and return to RadioUniverse.
To activate the connection with the receiver, select the COM port from the
list in the top left, under the word "Serial Port Receiver” and press “Con-
nect” button. The data from the receiver will now be displayed by the con-
trol software.
To start the connection to the mount, click the "Connect" but-

your mount (for N-EQ6, select "Celestron Scope Driver") and
then press the button "Properties".
This will open a new window ("Setup") in which you will need
