#EXOS2
just to be sure, it is the larger ribbed knob that unscrews ? (before I apply too much force on something unmovable) EDIT: found them.. two LR41 cells in series.

Djeez, I have no idea how to do that, which screws do I need to use for that ? I'm afraid I will do the wrong ones and destroy the telescope..

I have no clue. The flattener came without any documentation, and there are no markings on the flattener anywhere. :(

I suspect it's POTH that messes things up. Force-closing POTH with the task manager unlocks Stellarium. Force-closing Stellarium with the task manager does NOT unlock POTH

The term "ip" did not matter. The name of the wireless adapter was. it should not read "Wi-Fi" in my case, but "WiFi 2" I managed to get the IP configuration correct, but now the PMC-8 SSID is nowhere
