Software

Hi!

I'm a little bit confused by the amount of software available and exactly what each can do.

I have bought BackyardEos, which seems to work well with my 5D, but can this also talk to the EQ6 mount to do tracking (does it even have the ability to move the mount?), or do I need PHD2 for that?

Also, does EQMOD just replace the handheld GoTo controller? Do I need both PHD2 and EQMOD? Or what exactly does EQMOD do? Can it all be done wit BackyardEOS?

Cheers!
Nate.

EDIT: I pick up the scope and mount tomorrow, so this is all a bit pre-emptive.
