Which ASCOM driver for EQ6?

[laser_jock99]

As per title- which ASCOM driver do I need to download to drive an older EQ6 mount. I've been on the ASCOM website but can't see anything obviously for the EQ6

Telescope/Mount Drivers

I'm intending to use PHD + a Shoestring Astronomy box.

The Celestron drivers under ASCOM are the ones you need...

There's a Skywatch HEQ/NEQ option....

Is the shoestring thing a level converter allowing you to do without the handset? If so, you need the EQMod driver, not a celestron one (which assumes a synscan handset). If you do have a "real" handset, you can also put it in bypass mode and use EQMod.

Just to clarifiy I have a non-modded EQ6 with the old style handset- to which I have added the Shoestring RJ45 connector.

The non goto Eq6 mount does not need an ascom driver. The shoestring astronomy autoguider requires the ascom driver.
