Hi All'
As i am in Darwin with the wet season approaching, 35deg c, 98% humidity, clouds , rain, i won't be going outside for a few months, so i am playing with software.
When i try to run eqmod in simulator mode, it loads but is in the parked position and when i press the unpack tab, nothing happens, stays there. What i am doing wrong is probably very simple but i have no idea.
Any clues ?
:shrug:

George,
Not sure what the problem is...I've just tried the same: ASCOM telescope Simulator (under CdC)
The EQMod screen appears - flashing Parked...pressing the Unpark tab works for me OK.
Which planetarium software are you using?

George,
It's going to be a long wet season this year ;-)
Time to download and try Cartes du Ciel.

It's very good!

Yes, I persisted with Stellarium + EQMOD for a while (via StellariumScope), but in the end the seamless integration with CdC won me over. Great combo.

Ok Merlin and Amaranthis
yeah, i know it will be a long wet :( but the fishing will be great :rofl: i have downloaded cartes and am now going through it.
Figured out my problem, just changed unpark mode.
Thanks again
