Yep thats was what i was trying to say in garbled jibber
No EDMOD = No PC Direct
EQMOD = PC Direct
Sry paul O/T now
This worries me but:
then the handcontroller must NOT be used
(Not doubting you for a minute just giving experience of it and wondering if i'm doing something wrong)
I do it nightly and it works great. it depends how well the goto is performing . If I do a meridian flip and the object isnt in the FOV of the CCD (pretty small) I slew to a bright star near the object using the planetarium s/ware in the control room, walk into the observatory and postion the star in the finder scope using the hand controller and go back to the control room and centre the star on the CCD using EQMOD and sync the SKY 6 to it. No prblems with communications. the problems I had previously was using the nexstar connection without EQMOD.
If I cant use the hand controller I would have to disconnect the SKY from the mount , do the adjustment and centreing then reconnect after ive centred the object - seems counterintuitive? But then again there is probably an easier way that I am missing.
Again - not doubting - just seeing if there is abetter option than what I'm doing.
