Cheers for the reply guys.

Never even considered the IEQ45, so will have a look. How does this go connecting to the computer for computer control?

Peter, EQMOD continuously times out over and over, so my connection forever fails. I have minimised and isolated absolutely everything from no USB Hub, new pc, three different EQMOD cables (shoestring, hitecastro and custom made), powered from 12v and 240v, checked all earthing and added earthing straps, I also ran the entire setup without any peripherals attached (no QHY9, no autoguider, no telescope - just the mount). Still had time out issues, so I am just fed up with it not working after troubleshooting so much of it..

If there is another mount out there that doesn't require EQMOD but has a similar connection to the PC, I am all ears (apart from the PME/PMX scenario :-P)

Edit: Posted whilst I was typing my post, Jay..

The G11 is still a fair few more $$ than the AZEQ6GT... So its a big step up in price which I simply will not do whilst saving for a house.
