One Customer Review of “Starry Night BlueStar Telescope Adapte.2for Celestron GoTo Scopes And Starry Night Pro 6”
Scott C. Johnson wrote on January 30, 2010
I bought the starry night pro and bluestar adapter to connect a Celestron CPC1100 telescope to a laptop.
Starry night and bluestar have been fantastic for finding objects in the sky. It has helped me locate faint galaxies and the outer planets. By looking at nearby stars, I was able to positively identify Neptune and Uranus. I also found this product useful for identifying the moons of Jupiter and Saturn.
My largest complaint would be the battery compartment of the bluestar adapter. The battery compartment is very tight and it is hard to remove the batteries for recharging.
It would also be nice if the bluestar would synchronize to multiple adapter so I could use it to connect to a palmpilot as well. To switch back and forth, you need to reset the bluestar using a paperclip. Another problem I ran into is that the bluetooth software on my windows xp laptop installed the virtual com port very high (>com40). Starry Night won’t recognize ports over com16. Using advice from the website, I deleted many redundant ports and installed it to a lower port. When switching back and forth between the palm and PC, I have noticed that it is simplest to leave the ancient port in the bluetooth stack and make a new port. Once the new port is installed, you can delete it.
