Baud rate for Skywatcher mounts with USB port should be 115200
Also check in Device Manager to ensure baud rate is also 115200
It’s probably worthwhile to update the Prolific driver as well in Device Manager

Attached is how to connect EQMOD ( via Stellarium which is what I use ) or can use any other planetarium

Been using EQMOD for 6 years now on EQ5 , HEQ5, EQ6-R’s and EQ8-R pro mounts. The early mounts only had a serial port ( DB9 port and / or RJ45 hand controller port ) from 2019 they included the USB2 port which made it more universal.

If using the handcontroller port for telescope control use Baud rate 9600
If using the USB2 port for telescope control use Baud rate 115200

Cheers
Martin
