I have been using it for a few years, and since then have not put a single sync into my EQmod pointing model. I simply setup, do my PA routine, and tell it to take more images of a preset target. It will do the rest for you if you set it up right.
Thanks Peter, this has been my thinking, i have used EQMod with an EQ6 simulating a remote observatory for the past couple of months and haven't had any issue with pointing. the world of plate solving has really made finding your scope a lot less trouble.
