Massive difference? In what way?
I’m running the EQmod cable from my nEQ6pro to ASIair plus and before this I was using the hand controller with the ASIair.
My own experience is there is not much of a difference other then not having the HC in the chain. With the HC you turn on the mount, you put in a date & time then power up the AIR and sync the phone/tab position date/time to mount. Without the HC you power up the mount, then the air and sync the phone/tab to mount. Other then that everything is the same. The big requirement is you need to start the alignment with the mount pointing close to the SCP.
Where I see the EQMOD cable maybe being a “massive” difference is if your using a PC with EQDirect.
In regards to plate solving before you start the alignment process… I think I have done this and the mount went it all weird directions afterwards, but I will try that method again.
