What does EQMod offer over Synscan handset

[smr]

Hi all,

Just wondering what is the advantage in using EQMod instead of the handset controller... what will it enable me to do?

Well, for example, to select a target in a planetarium application on a PC and have the computer move the mount so the telescope points at the target.

But once you go down the control-by-computer path there are so many other things you can do.  Most may only be of interest to imagers however.

Once you have eqmod, you can start plate solving. No alignment (just PA)... just capture and slew... even load a photo from the internet, plate solve and slew.

ive never plugged my synscan handset in..
