I have been using EQtooth with my HEQ6 for about 2 years now, works great one less wire between mount and laptop. I also use it with Skysafari on my android phone and ipad using wifiscope loaded on the laptop. Wifi link between phone/ pad and laptop then Bluetooth from laptop to mount. I find it easier using Skysafari on the pad than using the mount handset or sitting over the laptop using Stellarium. I have been reading your video mod posts with interest, I've just done the filter removal so far might try the cooling fan next.

......or If you have basic soldering skills you can save yourself a few quid and build an EQDirect-BT yourself for around a tenner! - instructions are on the EQMOD Project website (also the Australian IceInSpace site has several threads on this).
