Hi Chris.
Different packages do different things. If looking for camera control with a dslr, then BackyardEOS or BackyardNikon work well. I started with Backyard EOS and PHD and just used the handset to point the mount.
then I went to EQMOD that acts as an interface between a planetarium program and your mount so you can get rid of the handset, but does require some hardware. If your laptop has Bluetooth, I found the Shoestring Bluetooth adaptor very good.
SEquence Generator pro is another option which will control your camera and lots of other gear while also interfacing with PHD2 to allow automated meridian flips and a host of other functions.
Nebulosity can do both image acquisition and processing. PIxinsight is mainly processing but I believe it is moving into camera control (or so I am told).
