I also use SNP with an EQ6 with a Canon 40DH.
Also update SNP to 6.2.1 if you have not done so.

Thanks Steve, I'm downloading the upgrade right now.

If you decide to look at Sky Tools, there is a new version due soon.

Just my 2 cents...

Wow, I've got stellarium and I wasn't aware that it had the telescope drive function.
cheers Daniel.
