The Sky6 ...EQ6 control

[SteveA]

Hi everyone...The wife is hassling me for my Christmas list and I'm thinking about some software that I can use for telescope control. I'm really not sure which would be best but The Sky6 looks good..

Can I use this for controlling an EQ6_Pro.. it's not on the list of supported telescope/mounts ?

I use the sky 6 - according to the synscan manual for my eq5, it should be configured/compatible with a NexStar protocol, according to Bisque Software (the makers of The Sky) it supports all current versions of Nexstar telescopes.

I'd get her to buy a good eyepiece and use CdC to control the scope!! I have The Sky V6 and end up still using CdC!!!!
