When you open cdc are you letting it open Eqmod or are you opening Eqmod before, best let cdc open Eqmod so should open  when you press connect telescope 

cdc first then let cdc open eqmod

In cdc where you choose mount connections as last screen shot I think one says simulator 

I've had a look the one I've clicked on is the eqmod/ascom HEQ5 option

Double check your not in simulation mode in cdc I did that before and does what you described 

How does one check that?

yep they are

Do you have the correct com port selected in ascom set up.

com port ok (com5 used) yet when I start eqmod on it's own I'm able to slew the mount but the problems happen when it's all conected to cdc

Have you unparked mount ?

yep that's the first thing I looked at

When you say nothing happens...do you mean the mount does,nt move.

Yep the mount does not move

After getting everything powered up  and connected up to my laptop get cdc started up then connect it to the mount no probs so far. But when I select  an object then select slew nothing happens and then telescope marker disappears.  I've checked the site info on both eqmod and cdc are the same and they are. Any help will be most welcome.

I also set the white bracket to daylight.

This'll be my second time at this place and I'm looking forward to it. Timings wise I' working up to friday morning (6-2 shift) so be time I got changed I'm looking at getting to Lucksall about 3:30 -3:45.

I just had my eqmod up and running today to check the settings ready for the sgl camp. any way the points count shows 1000 so I went to clear the list but the count stayed the same, so I checked the alignment points list that shows the list is indeed clear but the count shows 1000. Is there any way I can reset it to 000?

Can you update the plan please, can't find what pitch I'm on yet.

Are there still any pitches left, and is it possible to book/pay at end of month when I next get payed?

cheers for the write up john just the info I been looking for.
