Guided CPC 800

Finally!  

I was able to guide my mighty CPC 800 using the macbook and Starry Night!  The trick, after three hours of struggle - was actually in my hand.  Although the main panel on the CPC has an outlet clearly labelled "PC" - I was completely unable to get the laptop to chat it up.  I struggled with different options in between looks at Jupiter - when finally I broke down and READ THE DIRECTIONS.

Turns out the hand controller has a port buried underneath for the said control cable (I was starting to think it was a Mac thing.)

Bad news was that I missed the international space station blow by (takes < 10 minutes to blaze the sky.)

Will try again Friday night - hoping for clear skies!
