Okay, thank you, will try this. Not sure what you mean by showing the mount pointing position?

Hello, I hope I am posting this in the right section, apologizes if not. I have recently learned of Stellarium being able to control mounts and have tried to set it up with my HEQ5. I have watched many videos and managed to get an connection via the handset connected to the computer. However, when I try to slew to anything, it goes off into the middle of nowhere, sometimes pointing down. I realise I am missing steps I'm just not sure which, Do I need to align in anyway before using Stellarium to slew? Do I need to fill out all the information in the EQMOD relative to my area (lat/long/height ect)? I realise I am asking for step by steps here but I cannot find/understand the information I am finding online.... Another issue I have is I cannot polar align as Polaris is behind trees and houses in my backyard sadly. Any help with this would be great, thank you
