Description

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

Currently only Skywatcher/Orion/Avalon Instruments mounts fitted with synscan motor controllers are supported. Other mounts type may be supported either by mounting a synscan upgrade kit or by building your own mount controller.

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.
