eq mod


Recommended Posts

Hi,

im looking for advice on controling a syntrek mount from a lap top rather than buy a synscan hand controller.

Ive downloaded eq ascom and platform along with eq tour.

Im perchasing the lead that goes from the laptop to the mount (cant remember the name of the lead!)

What i would like to know is, do you have to have a planetarum software used with it for it to work?

If so, what would be a good free one to use?

any advice on this would be most greatfully recived.

mason.

I'd go for Carte du Ciel. Much more functional and brilliant at controlling the scope through EQMOD. I feel that Stellarium strives to be 'pretty', rather than professional! Nice program, though.

True ! a lot like Starry Night, which is why I now use SN in Bare Bones mode :)
