Description

When applying to join this group please provide a comment that mentions your scope and mount

Currently only Atlas, Sirius, EQ5 and EQ6 mounts with SynScan capability are supported. Newer non-goto mounts are also supported provided they only need an upgraded controller to obtain goto capability.

The EQMOD Project is dedicated to optimizing the control of EQ mounts through the development of a free and open source PC based EQASCOM driver that provides a rich set of 'enhanced' mount control functions. Communications to the mount are via RS232 and require either RS232-TTL converter or connection to a V3.21 (or later) Synscan hand controller operating in 'PC Remote' mode.

The key features/benefits are:

* Direct Control by any ASCOM compliant planetarium or client application
* Northern/Southern Hemisphere support
* Gotos/Slew at 0.144 resolution (dependent on Mount type)
* N-Star Alignment model
* Gamepad telescope control.
* GPS Support
* Variable Speed Periodic Error Correction (VS-PEC)
* Spiral Search
* Definable Park/unpark positions
* Sidereal, Lunar, Solar & Custom (DEC and RA) tracking rates.
* Pulseguiding
* Independent RA and DEC Autoguider speeds
* Slew Speed from x0.1 to x800 sidereal rate
* English, French, Spanish, Italian, Romanian & Dutch language support
Other EQMOD Project developments include:

* EQMosaic An ASCOM application for the managment of mosaics.
* EQTour An ASCOM application for  Sky Tour planning / navigation.
* EQMODLX LX200 to ASCOM, useful for satellite tracking.
* PERECORDER Automated Periodic Error recording program using webcams
* PECPrep Periodic Error Analysis program.
