Hey peter, you are probably right at 640x480 as I was going from my dodgy recollection. Not good with numbers at the best of times.
I wanted to connect it to stellarium to make it a bit easier in locating things to look at.
Although i have had the scope for a while I always find it hard to find things of interest to look at apart from the most basic, moon, jupiter and saturn etc
Never know where to point the scope and I thought if I could pick a nebula etc stellarium would direct my scope to at least somewhere near it in the ballpark.
I have a GSO 8 inch newtonian scope which used to be a dob. I only recently purchased a second hand eq5 mount which came with RA and dec motors and I did an st4 conversion on the control box and purchased a gpint-pt guide port adapter to use with it.
Cant find or input the LPT port into stellarium and just wanted a piece of software like a planetarium that I could click on an object and it would guide the scope to the vicinity.
Have looked at Cartes du ciel but it seems harder to work out than stellarium.
Dont know what brand the EQ5 mount is but it looks generic.
