EQmod and POTH.

I am currently running eqmod on an eq6 and using POTH (plain old telescope hub) so can I connect and sync to the scope as well as the dome. If I connect everything to POTH I have these problems. Anyone else seen these errors?

1. PHD tells me pulse guiding is not supported, I have to connect directly to eqmod to get it to guide.

2. Doing a Sync in The Sky does not register with the eqmod mapping model at all.

3. Maxim can not retrieve RA/DEC info from the telescope.

Are these POTH problems or eqmod problems? It appears something isn't talking to something.

Robin,
Eqmod is a "hub" also. It will support multi connections.
You should use this instead of poth.
It may cure your other questions.

Cheers Adrian, I need poth in the mix to manage the dome, but I have some ideas that should side step the other issues.
