I could use some help here please.

I'm struggling to make eqmac work with stellarium on my EQ6 from my MacBook. It's plugged into the base of the synscan hand controller via a shoestring serial/USB adaptor on PC direct mode.

Phd seems to work ok, eq mac is moving the mount and the map function seems to be working. But stellarium says my refractor is connected but it won't move or slew the scope when you select a star in the crosshairs and press command>1 as suggested in the instructions. The scope appears on the stellarium screen as 'Saxon' on an orange recticle.

Am I missing something? I have 4mb ram in a 13" MacBook 2.17 - 2008 edition. Seems to be adequate.

Is there an order these apps need to be loaded to all talk together happily?

or better still is there a mac/eq6/eqmac/phd/nebulosity/stellarium workflow 101 for dummies primer available anywhere?

Your advice and suggestions much appreciated.

Cheers
Andy
