PC Direct method of connection for EQMOD is risky ( refer my post above ) and not recommended by the developers of EQMOD
Here’s how to connect EQMOD to an EQ6-R mount with USB2A to USB2B max 5m long cable and use a planetarium software like Stellarium.
You can use other Ascom supported planetarium software with EQMOD is you do to want to use Stellarium.
NB: My document is 2 years old now so make sure you use the latest software and driver updates for Ascom and Windows etc…
Hope this is helpful…..
Cheers

Thanks Martin,
I used tha stand alone HC as that has the ability to set upper and lower limits. Then I tried connecting a PC to the Mount running the EQMOD software without success.
Are you saying that Stellarium can set upper and lower limits? I normally use Sky Safari with ASIAir.
