Unable to connect The Sky 6 to EQ6 using EDDIRECT

[vincentnm]

Dear All,

Thanks to this forum, I now use the FTDI cable for EQDIRECT connection to my Skywatcher EQ6. I am able to control the mount using EQASCOM. The slew controls work fine.

However, I cant seem to connect using The Sky6 PE. In Telescope setup, an option for EQMOD does not appear. As you can see fromthe screenshot EQASCOM is running while I attempt this. Any ideas what could be going wrong?

Thanks,

Vincent.

TheSky needs a special API program to "talk" to ASCOM...details on the EQMOD site. This needs to be installed first.

Thanks for the advice guys. I've got this working with the plugin.
