Nice one Peter, I think I’ll definitely go down the wireless route, the cables are proving problematic to say the least.

I’ll post again on here when I’ve tried it.

thanks again.

I have tried to do that, it says it’s connecting continuously. I’m fine at getting to that point, I’m just at a loss as to why the mount isn’t visible to the laptop. Where does your cable connect to on your computer if not via a usb? I may try that out, see if I have any joy.

There’s a pic below of the cables I’m trying to connect with.

thanks for replying by the way. 👍🏻

Hi, I’m about 8 months into owning a Skywatcher 200p and the EQ5-Pro mount and feel brave enough to move onto connecting to my laptop and exploring Stellarium. Anyone got any tips on the hard wiring? No matter what variety of cables and connection outlets I combine my mount doesn’t show in Stellarium, ASCOM or EQMOD. 
As the mount has no direct outlet to connect too I have tried using the ports on both the Synscan hand set and the hand control system that it plugs into but neither have given me any joy.I know this has probably been asked a million times before, I apologise in advance but would appreciate any advice at all.

thanks.

Can I ask a question about my EQ5-Pro mount - laptop connection issues in here or is there another more relevant chat I need to join?
