G'day Petra,

I've just rebuilt eqmod on my new lappy.

You will need bto download and install ASCOM, then eqascom. You may also want eqtour and eqmosaic but they aren't necessary if you plan to do all control from stellarium or CDC.

I use a USB eqdir cable, a Logitech rumblepad game controller and CDC.

I haven't used my hand controller since installing eqmod. Its particularly good in an obs as you can progressively refine the pointing by adding alignment points in different part of the sky.

I see there are now eqtooth Bluetooth connectors available instead of a cable.

The eqmod instructions are good to follow.

Eqmod will also eliminate the need for gpusb for guiding.

Al.
