The NEQ6 Pro is and excellent mount. It can be controlled from most PC's via the EQDIR cable , EQMOD and ASCOM. You will also need a USB-RS232 adaptor if you don't have a native COM port. Configure it as COM1 or COM2 if you can.
I have its baby brother the HEQ5 pro with Synscan 3.27 and find the Synscan is much less messy than using the motors with EQMOD. The latest Synscan has a built in EQDIR so you can play with both systems.
Stellarium will couple directly to the synscan but needs ASCOM (not included yet with Stellarium) as the intereface to EQMOD. Synscan uses an abrieviated version of the nexstar protocol.
