I've got my main camera and filter wheel talking to apt ok, but when i try to connect the mount, i can choose the heq5 from the ascom list, but it is saying it cant find a port... I'm not sure what that is referring to.



My current connection is mount-(hand controller port cable)-synscan usb dongle-(usb cable)-USB hub-(usb cable)-computer USB 3.0 port.


My thought was that I dont need an EDMOD cable as I can just connect the synscan USB to a USB port, but now I'm thinking this skywatcher thing is useless and there is no other option to the EDdirect cable units linked below?

Sorry for the newb question, I'm sure it'll be obvious when its clear!

Suggest you try using a USB2 port. For some reason the synscan USB controller allegedly doesn’t like USB3
