I’m hoping for some experienced user input for Voyager and what is the best plaentarium software to integrate with Voyager ? I’m using a 10 Micron GM 1000 mount
qualifications are easy to use GUI
Thank you,

I’ve used TheSkyX and Stellarium; both works fine. Stellarium is free so I’d say give it a go.

Cartes du Ciel works fine too and is also free. It’s the one I use. Stellarium is more a visualisation of the sky, and Cartes du Ciel is more map-like.

I use TheSkyX. Works great.

I use TheSkyX as well, but I also like it’s blind plate solving (really fast), so it doubles as my plate solving software as well.

I use sky safari 7 on my iPad (paid), and in combination with Alpaca en zerotier, I can control the scope on distance. however, I mainly use the planetarium program to decide on my planning. For composition, I used the Voyager web and Robotarget, so, in general, I don’t have any use for it, but it is cool that you can see where your scope is pointing. So I have not configured any planetarium program in Voyager. I can understand if you point to an object and then start the capture session oke. And the personal feeling, I love the look and feel of Skysafari. different people, different programs 
success

Would you mind sharing a bit more detail on how to setup SkySafari Pro on iPad to have it monitoring where the remote scope is pointing?
It’s more a SkySafari subject than a voyager subject. I use Ascom Alpaca. This support is embedded in the SS7 version. You should install the Ascom remote on your Voyager PC. This software interacts with your telescope ascom driver. At the same time, Skysafari will Talk to the Ascom remote. I hope this helps. You can always send me a PM
Thank you, this is a very helpful explanation. I’m new to Voyager and have so far used INDI exclusively, which works with SS7 in a similar way. I will try to set it up with Ascom Alpaca and Ascom remote.

Well, that turned out a lot easier than expected. It’s working, and like expected, very similar behaviour to an INDI connection. Thanks a lot again!
