In this position you won’t be able to move the mount using the controls. You’ll see that our mount starts off in the “ Parked” position.This then loads up that familiar EQMOD control dialog box and change the status from red to green in the telescope control box in CDC: We simply now press the Connect button.Click OK to confirm that’s the correct profile to return back to the previous window.You will see the profile name that we created when previously setting up ASCOM. This will load up the following dialog box. To tell ASCOM which configuration of EQMOD we’re using, we select the Select button.Now to connect CDC to our ASCOM mount go to the Telescope menu again, this time select Connect telescope… This loads up the following screen Click OK to return back to the Sky Chart view.To configure CDC to use our ASCOM controlled mount, go to the Telescope menu and select Settings….Cartes du Ciel Sky Charts downloaded and installed.A correctly configured ASCOM Platform and configured mount with EQMod.
