Aux Mount

[ZiHao]

I am currently using a ST4 cable to guide, so do I need to select anything under the Aux Mount selections? There is a 'ZWO USBST4 ASCOM' option.

I use a Starlight Lodestar for guiding my NEQ6pro mount and ST-4 connections and EQMod.

The Aux in PHD needs to be set to "EQmod ASCOM HEQ5/6" - this then allows PHD to access the RA and Dec of the target object.

Hope this helps.

I thought EQMOD only works when you have a EQDirect cable? I have been selecting 'None' in the previous sessions. So I have to install EQMOD as well right? The ASCOM drivers are installed as I am using ASI120MC to guide.

No,

you should be able to use the handcontroller to control your mount.

for PHD just add the HEQ5 as the Aux mount.
