Hi All

Well, I also have to give this item a hugh endorsement.

Sometime ago I tried the GPUSB/EQmod path and never really had much success. Don't know why.

I have both an EQ5 and EQ6 mount with synscan hand controllers.

I saw this thread and placed an order and had the Adapter within 2 days. I did the daytime alignment, with a bit of guesswork. And wow! worked instantly. I couldn't wait til it was dark.

Stellarium and Cartes du Ciel were already loaded in preparation. Just followed the instructions (which were not difficult at all). From turning on the mount to slewing around the southern sky was about 5 minutes.

I wish I had this years ago.

Thanks very much to Cathy. Your service and communication is excellent.

Highly Highly recommended.

Darrell
