Thanks Ken yes I know in principle about the set up and have read so much info before attempting to connect laptop to mount
I’ve tried a USB / serial adapter ( including down loading the driver ) via the handcontroller in PC direct mode , COM3 can be seen in Device manager , go into EQMOD toolbox, enter correct data in EQMOD Ascom set up including COM3 ,press ok, power up mount, EQ Ascom toolbox comes up, I have previously registered , then press ASCOM Connect and the EQMOD HEQ5/6 box comes up LHS only but then I have no control over it , I move my mouse arrow over this narrow box and it just circles for minutes, so I just shut down and pack up
I’m going to try the second method EQ Direct ( remove HC ) using the USB2EQ5 cable but I need a driver to create a com port in Device manager ( my posted question below )
I may even reinstall ASCOM, EQMOD and Stellarium scope
I’ve been searching IIS and Cloudy nights for answers and there were so many guys having trouble connecting their laptop to mount ( me included )
Any advice and help by IIS members most welcome and appreciated !!
