Craig,
Not sure I can help, but I do use EQMod (and Astroart for plate solving and syncing)
If you're using SharpCap to refine your PA I assume you're tweaking the Alt/Az to give you a final correction?
Ok, at this stage you have the mount aligned and the scope pointing to the SGP.....this is the home position for EQMod.
When you open EQMod it automatically assumes (unless you've set a different Custom park position) it's pointing at the SGP, so there's no need to have a sync at that point.
The next step is to obviously slew to your intended target. If it's not 100% centred, then do a Plate Solve and sync which will be recognised by EQMod.
As you change target during the night, you can continue to apply PS and add sync points to improve your pointing model.
Does that make any sense????
