thanks for all the advice guys, food for thought.

I emailed the author of Tpoint for a price as the software price is aperture dependant. Here is what he had to say.

"Your best bet for controlling an HEQ6 Pro is TheSky+TPoint. The
minimum license cost for the standalone "pro" TPOINT is 350 GBP,
which I assume is way above what the Bisque package costs.
Moreover, it's not just the pointing analysis part that you need.
You have to run pointing tests and gather the data in the
appropriate way, and then control the mount with the correction
terms in place. Only TheSky includes these components.

If you decide to go this way, by all means send me a pointing
run to analyze: I'll be interested to see what accuracy the
Skywatcher mount can deliver."
