I just set up the kit back outside and it slews correctly from asiair and SkySafari. Its a puzzle!

BTW my mount is the model without the USB port, hence the Serial to USB cable. Are these known to be problematic?

I’ve had 2 x EQ6-R mounts for nearly 4 years , one in Sydney connected direct via USB cable and the second on NSW south coast in my Dome connected via EQ Direct cable ( Shoestring ) to handcontroller port
Both have performed flawlessly
I run EQMOD as the driver and use Ascom Stellarium as my Nav and Goto via Laptop adjacent and connected inside the house via Car 5e cable to main PC
Mount with USB uses baud rate of 115200
Mount with EQDirect cable uses baud rate 9600
All above runs off Window 10 Pro ( All apps run as administrator )

Cheers
Martin
