Alignmaster question!!

[Craigyboy3542]

Hey 

Not sure if i am being thick, was just watching the videos for the alignmaster and definitely going to get it, i just have 1 question. 

As you have to connect the  mount to the PC for it to work, how do you connect the hand control at the same time?? the only ports i have on the HEQ5 are the handset and the autoguider!!! i don't use EQMOD it looks to complicated for me to set up :(

Hi , hope this may help you..

Question, what  Mount dou you Have ?  HEQ5  or HEQ5Pro?

Take a look at this.. there is a Diff..

Btw ,  why not try EQMOD, its a lot  easier as you think. There are many people online who will help..

I use The Eq6 Mount, also with EQMOD... there are many good options..

If you need help with Eqmod, just let me know

when using eqmod make sure you change the sync points to dialogue when doing the alignment.

If you find the choice of stars is a problem for you, you can define your own, or PHD2 dift align works well when used right
