connect mount to stellarium

Honestly I worry about myself sometimes..

i have connected my EQ5 and ran it thru Stellarium in the past in Sydney ..I set aside Martins notes on how to...but having downloaded it this afternoon and found the cable I realise that I have no idea and cant find my notes..Martins work...so its square one again.

anyways I was going to try and set it up a moment ago and realised I have no idea..Last night I could not even do a one star alignment..I would press " 1 " AND the thing would go straight to the guided tour thing???? maybe running into the chair has stuffed the eq8 but I am going to do a factory reset...anyways after all these years I finally decide to use my goto and problems...I have spent all day tidying, fixing adjusting cleaning looking for stuff and got the 115 mm running and as I took the guide scope from the 115mm while the new one is on its way... and put it on the RASA I took the 70mm scope off the RASA and have put it on the 115mm so I can maybe shoot something with 115 mm using the 70mm to find the object..mmm wait I got the star alignment done on the EQ6 ..see what I mean forgeting stuff etc...
I tried to take darks this afternoon but it was too hot and the temp was all over the place...adding the guide scope means I have another cable to route..and to take darks I had to dismantle everything I built for the cables to take the camera off...the RASA makes everything difficult...but getting there ..so I have two lap tops set up one to service each scope...hope to dial in auto guide..fix the star alignment problem and find my notes to bring in Stellarium...I think it is starting to rain...where is my guitar? oh I hope to put the Nikon on the eq5 as I dont have a lap top for the left over 2600
