ASCOM Handbox?

[cjdawson]

Hi all.

I've heard about EQMod, but I'm not sure if it will work with a Meade LX-90.   What I'm looking for is software that works a bit like EQMod, but works with general Ascom driven mounts.   Or am I missing something and EQMod will work?

EQMod only works with Synscan EQ mounts.

There is no dedicated software like EQMOD for the Meade handsets, but you can control it all from APT, and I also have a little stand alone programme called LX200 mini control, amd  it works well with an LX90, here is a link, its the second one down on the page, and it works with win 10 also

If you use the above mentioned programme with the GOTO programme underneath it on the same linked page, you will then have a full GOTO Meade handset on your PC, and it works well....

I like the idea of the mini control.
