Software that I use

Cartes du Ciel. Planetarium software that is free to download and use. This software allows you to connect your mount to it and run you setup from a laptop. Once set up and aligned you can select an object in the screen and tell your scope to slew to it....pretty neat! http://www.ap-i.net/skychart/en/start

​

EQMOD. This software acts as an interface between my mount and the Cartes du Ciel planetarium software. It also adds the user interface to control your mount from your laptop. EQMOD also has several plugins such as EQMosaic and EQTour which are worth checking out. http://eq-mod.sourceforge.net
