Thanks for the tip.
Yes EQMOD for me...when I set up the new scope and mount, whatever the scope I will have room in the roll off observatory so I will try and get things better organised. Wifi and video cameras would be nice and a remote for the roof. I think I will put he 80 mm on the HEQ 5 and use 5he old EQ 6 to mount two DSLR cameras for wide field as the eq6 can go unguided forever just for wide fields. This has gone way past holding a camera at the ep for Moon shots.
