Control Eq5 mount using starry night pro
Posted: Fri Nov 12, 2010 2:26 pm
Hi
I am a relative newbie to astronomy so bare with me. I've recently purchased a EQ5 mount and evostar 120 refractor and would like to control the mount for astro photography, i could purchase synscan goto £295. But is there another way using dual drive motors and starry night pro i think i can modify the dual axis controller to autoguide but then i would have to purchase a guide scope. will starry night pro or any other program enable me to use my pc in effect as a synscan controler to drive the dual axis motors on the mount!
cheers Barry
