  1. I have the newest version of stellarium now synced perfect with my EQ6R Pro. I leave the handset at home, set up from the home position. Polar align in Sharpcap. Turn on the scope after alignment, Start stellarium and it automatically turns on EQMOD. I slew to 2 stars, center each target, hit CTRL SHIFT 1 to center on each star and then I am good all night. EASY EASY EASY. I UNINSTALLED stellariumscope and all issues went away. BTW I connect directly from the mount head to my laptop with a regular printer cable (usb on one side and printer type hook up on the scope side. Paid 9 dollars for a really nice 10 foot one here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M9J4CYH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
  2. Thank you Nebula. Yesterday I connected through the hand set and was able to connect to Eqmod, then stellariumscope, then stellarium. Everything slewed fine and seemed to be working perfect. I did connect to phd2 by using eqmod eq5/6 ascome drivers and also my ZWO guide camera too. I was in my hobby room due to clouds so I have yet to check tracking but I have high hopes. Connecting through the handset and not the mount head was the key to success I have had. I am going out tonight and plan to do polar align from home position , calibrate the mount, return the mount to home, this will be done with the mount is parked in eqmod, then open stellariumscope, stellarium, unpark, find my target, then start phd2 to get my imaging up and going once I am on target. I hope that plan of order sounds about right.
  3. Hello all this is my first post. I just got the new EQ6R Pro with the usb port on the mount head and another on the hand set. I have had it out and got a nice flame nebula capture without auto guiding. I have it connected to Eqmod and have control of the mount (moving parking and such) but when I try to open stellarium it doesn't recognize my mount. Also when I tried to use the usb on the mount head with Phd2 the mount stopped tracking the second I unparked the mount and I had to restart the mount. I guess I have a few questions. Am I to connect to the mount via the usb printer type cable directly to the mount? I read something about the hand controller needing to be in "pc" mode so I am not sure if that affects all the issues. Also how can I fix the stellarium issue as without it I see no value in eqmod? This mount is far superior to my AVX but way different to set up with my laptop. I do have all the appropriate drivers installed....I believe. Thanks for any help you can give me.
