Stellarium - EQ6 mount control

For those interested I have managed, with help from the EQMOD forum, to get software control of where my EQ6 mount points using Stellarium. Point at the star/planet/neb in Stellarium and press CTRL+1 and the scope will slew to and track(?) the object.

You will need programs from 4 sites

EQMOD instal files from http://eq-mod.sourceforge.net/
Stellarium from http://www:stellarium.org
Stellarium Scope from http://www.bytearts.com/stellarium/
ASCOM drivers from http://ascom-standards.org/


Good thing is its freeware except for Stellarium Scope, they ask for a donation of $25.
Have a look great alternative to spending 100's$ on software then can spend it on necessary things like guide scopes etc
