Thanks for the article Karl. I have just finished setting up control of my mount using Stellarium/EQMOD, and your article was very handy. I have also got myself a wireless gamepad and that seems to work well with EQMOD, very easy to set up.

My mount is an EQ5 (Orion SkyView Pro), and the instructions are perfect for that as well.

I think that there is a typo in the instructions that had me scratching my head for a while. In STEP 2 there is a note about the different latitude and longitude formats in Stellarium and StellariumScope - but the numbers are a bit mixed up:

Quote:
So, if your Latitude is 34 degrees 51 minutes 26.70 seconds then this becomes 34 degrees, (23 +26.70/60) = (23+0.4)=23.4 minutes or 34 degrees 23.4 minutes.
should be 34 degrees 51.4 minutes....?

Anyway - great article

Adam
