Using Guide 9 as a telescope mount Go-To

DP Sep 10, 2014

Problem solved. Finally found my Guide 9 manual. After about a minute of reading and 2 minutes to setup, I now can slew my telescope to any object or set of coordinates I choose.
Really pleased that I can continue using Guide 9 for all my planetarium needs.

I’m having a problem getting Guide 9 to control my NEQ 6 mount. I can use EQMod to move the mount either by mouse or with a game-controller. However despite setting Guide 9 Scope Control to ASCOM scope and both the COM port and “Other” { to 7 (the same as which drives the mount using EQMod or the game-controller), the mount doesn’t move when I tell Guide 9 to “Go-to” an object. Guide 9 itself does center the object, but the mount doesn’t move at all. I have searched for a solution on-line but so far haven’t found any answer.
 
ps I tried 10 times to join the Yahoo group this morning, but despite entering (I’m sure) the Captcha data, Yahoo responds with “Sorry an error occurred while loading the data”.
