I seem to be reading a lot that Android has an easier time with this. IOS versions of SkySafari do not use Bluetooth because IOS does not allow direct access to BT devices. So the connection is a bit more complicated having to connect over an ad hoc wifi network. I am pondering options. Thanks for the offer of help. I may ping you off list.

For less than $10 on ebay I got one of these and put it in my Argo Navis, works a treat with my android tablet and phone both running SkySafari using the Meade GOTO protocol: CRIUS MWC Multiwii Bluetooth Module Parameter Configurator Module/Adapter I had to track down the pin-outs to get the UART TX/RX before its converted to RS232 serial. I assume the Orion has a serial connector so it should be possible with that as well and you'll have to configure the module for baud rate etc. I can help you with both if you need it, otherwise good luck!
