Snap function for camera on Orion mount

[sandycorgi44]

On my Orion Starseeker iv mount there's a port for snap function when linked up to a camera with the proper lead .    Has anyone else heard of this ?   

The manual says it allows control of a DSLR when used with the proper cable.    

Any clues how you would use this ?   Sorry if this seems a daft question .

The snap cable plugs into the snap socket on the mount and into the shutter release socket on the camera. The Synscan handset can then be used to control the camera from a menu on the handset.

Can this Snap function be actioned from within Eqmod,?

Thanks for that Peter......might order the cable then and see how it works out

I don't think so. I believe that only three Synscan EQ mounts have the snap port, plus a few of the AZ goto mounts, so probably not worth adding this function to EQMod at present.

Thank you.
