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)
Well just any mount can be pc controlled lol so that leaves things wide open G11 w00ties
