EQMOD/EQDIR USB Adaptor Question

[Spaced Out]

Hi All

This might sound like a dumb question but I’m not great with tech and I have never used EQMOD before so I have no experience of this.

So...... I am planning on setting up EQMOD to control my telescope. I have a powered USB hub at the telescope and was going to purchase a short (2m ?) EQDIR USB adapter to link the mount to the USB hub. The USB hub then has a 5M cable connecting to my PC.

Would this work OK or do I need a dedicated EQDIR USB adapter cable running direct to the PC from the mount (5m+) ?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Should be fine I think. I connect my EQMod to a Hub that goes into my laptop directly, not exactly the same but same principle i.e the EQMod cable is not going direct into the laptop. Hope that helps.
