How do i connect it because I’ve tried many times and its not working. I have the sky watcher 200p

iOS 26で誤動作

EQ5で使っています。
アライメントが上手く行きません。全然明後日の方向に向いたり、赤経軸のモーターが回り続ける不具合が有ります。望遠鏡販売店で確認頂きました。結果アプリの問題になりました。アライメントができないのは、困りものです。

Functional, but barely

Don’t use this for actual stargazing. Use if for alignment only, and get a proper astronomy app, one that can connect to your telescope and drive everything from there.

The alignment process is extraordinarily painful. If you breathe wrong, the button to say “Yes, absolutely, I’ve aligned with the star I selected” doesn’t respond when you touch it. To work around this problem, press the circle i “ⓘ” button to view information about the star, then the “back” button, then the “Yes, absolutely, I’ve aligned with the star I selected” button. Of course, if you’re not careful, you’ll end up pressing “back” one time too many and you’ll have to start the alignment process all over again.

The rest of the app is confusing at best and is all but useless for actual stargazing.
