Hi All Struggling to get the HEQ5 mount linked up to the laptop. Questions: 1) Is it better to connect via the SynScan hand controller or direct to the mount - is this via USB connection or the RJ12 2) I'm confused about which Ascom and EQmod software downloads / drivers to use. I have tried several but these have not worked 3) What planetarium software is compatible / recommended Any advice /guidance much appreciated Pat

Many thanks for the advice / feedback - much appreciated. I will experiment this weekend.

Hi All Getting back into Astronomy after 5 year hiatus. I am looking for advice and recommendations for the best software for windows laptop to control a new Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro goto mount. I'm am planning to use this for video astronomy and would like to operate the mount remotely / from inside the house. Also is it possible to do this via a wi-fi type arrangement to negate trailing leads etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
