Canon 600D Camera Control from PC

I have been using an RS-60E3 remote control switch to take exposures on my Canon 600D through a 6" reflector OTA and HEQ5 mount with good results for the past 5 months



I would like to progress to the next level and control my camera from a PC located adjacent to my mount on a small table



Appreciate some advice from experienced astrophotographer's to get me set up and started -



Cable from Camera to PC ( say 4metres long ) cable type and supplier details ( I don't do Ebay ) ?


Camera Control Software - beginner ( Backyard EOS ? ) ?


My PC has 3 x 3.0 USB ports ( all free at the moment )


Thanks in advance
