I concur with Bart …..
For Navigation and Goto with Skywatcher EQ mounts, EQMOD or Eqascom is an excellent open sourced software driver to navigate the night sky using your preferred planetarium. It generally replaces your Synscan handcontroller but offers loads more features…..
I use eqascom and Stellarium and opt for Sync point star alignment in lieu of plate solving for Goto
Ive used this set up on all my mounts over the past 7 years ( EQ5 , HEQ5, EQ6-R pro and EQ8-R pro mounts )
See attached …….
Cheers
Martin
