One of the new features of EQMOD and the new ASCOM gemini driver is that you get a voice feedback of what your mount is doing. You just select the voice option in preferences and when slewing you get Microsoft Sam's crappy voice saying "mount Slewing" or if you increase the speed "Rate increase" goto object etc etc. Really helps in the dark so that you know that command has been accepted etc.
At present Im in the process of modifying my laptop screen to a touch screen device. I found that when I went to upgrade my laptop that a trialled a Toshiba touchscreen lappy. O beautiful and no more messing about in the dark trying to see the keyboard. Worked great with my planetarium program and CCDSoft.
But thats OT. Try the voice option - very good.
