Further Update.

Thanks for the link for the VisualGPS. I have downloaded it and will take a look but getting the location information is no problem - using it with EQMOD has been the problem.

I have been trawling the Yahoo EQMOD forum and did a search on Local Sidereal Time and found a post which said you could just edit the eqmod.ini file which is stored in your profile in My Documents\Ascom. In that file there is a TimeDelta flag which you can set to 0 to hopefully eliminate the problem I am having whereby the calculated sidereal time by both POTH and EQMOD is wrong to the tune of 4 minutes.

Now, here's the interesting thing. On my laptop, that I used to use in the observatory I do have an eqmod.ini file but on the desktop I now use there isn't one. I even tried reinstalling EQASCOM v128k but it still has not produced such a file.

Anyone know why?

Chris
