Hi Merlin, I have been using the USB2EQ5, from Bintel. I cant work out why this problem with the cables have led to my issues. My friend Dave had a look at the problem for me and he was at a loss to why it was happening, I damaged two power boards with the one cable.
Fortunately my mount EQ6-R was still under warranty and Sky Watcher replaced the power board for me, along with an updated power board to the EQ6-R Pro now I have the USB port on the mount head and on the hand controller, no more shoe string cables. Out of four cables I had two bad ones and I still have two spare.
Now for the camera, my local technician confirmed what Dave had thought, it was or could be a corrupt or broken driver, in which case we had to start from a clean free hard drive, I am in the process of putting my programs back on the computer and checking that they work in which case they appear to be. My camera is taking dummy shots okay.
Thanks to those who commented and made suggestions.
Merlin, I see that you are getting some nice pics of the sun, I have been watching your efforts, I have also been watching Chuck from the USA he also has been posting some nice shots as well.
