Hi guys
I'm wondering is it possible/what do I need to do, to be able to control my EQ6 (version 2.05 hand controller) from my laptop using SNP or Star Atlas Pro?
As a rule I simple don't align the SkyScan - probably a hang up from when I didn't know how to use it properly and when I tried, it was always way out and I never persisted with it, because with planetary imaging I know where the planet is :)
But with the deep-space imaging i'm doing now, there's definite benefit to having a working GOTO system because a lot of targets are well below naked eye visibility and it's a pain having to star-hopping to the target.
So I could go back to trying to align the skyscan, but I'd also prefer to be able to control it from the software - ie: see a target in SNP and click "goto" and let it drive the mount to it.
Is this possible and how do I do it?
Thanks
