Hi Ken and Russ,
My luck with Stellarium scope was short lived as I tried last night to connect and it failed, tried again today and failed again
Check all settings like site location and port data to ensure both Stellarium, SSC and EQMOD HEQ5/6 all match
I also updated Stellarium configuration on SSC
Checked all cable connections
Checked Device manager

I power up mount and check Device manager ports and can see prolific USB to serial com port ( Com3) which matches EQMOD
Then start Stellarium scope and click on connect box
EQMOD Window opens on far left handhand side
At bottom of Stellarium scope 3 x sockets say waiting for slew connection etc.. and scope connected
I start Stellarium via SSC
Cross hair symbol is seen at SCP labelled same as ASCOM telescope ( mount in home position )
I select an object nearby
Press CNTR + 1. Nothing happens
Go back to EQMOD window and click on park and then unpark , then my mouse arrow turns into a running circle and EQMOD says Not Responding
So I shut down and start again or give up

Am I missing something ??? As I’m sure I performed the same procedure yesterday and it worked on 3 occasions ok ??? Ah but I didn’t use EQMOD to park the scope , I took it out of PC Direct and parked it manually

Any ideas ???????
