Hey, where can I buy a Go-To function for my 250px EQ6? Can this be used for a Mac as well, or is it only intended for the PC?

Hi,
Very useful information, thank you!
I am getting Sky-Watcher Skymax 127 on a SynScan Go-To mount. Would you happen to know whether there is a plug to connect the mount with Stellarium?

@ParaglidingManiac You can do it with the leads provided, using the handset as an interface.So yes, and all the stuff is provided with the synscan.

the NEQ6 and the HEQ5 are both nice mounts i looked them up on a few website but both are a bit out of my price range at the moment, have been looking at the SKYWATCHER EXPLORER-200P with the EQ5 Deluxe Heavy-Duty Equatorial Mount, i found them on a website on your astronomyshed website , i was wondering would i be able to get similar results with relevent motors for the mount?

@TheRoach2010 I started off with my 200p on an EQ5, then added motors, then sold it for the NEQ6, it'll work fine but eventually you'll hear the call of an HEQ5 or an NEQ6 they're both a big jump up from EQ5

just wanted to say hi, joined astronomy shed today, so far have watched most of your vid and enjoyed everyone of them, have had a scope for about 10 years but never used it the way it should be. i have an eq1 on my new scope and would like to used comp control with it, the prob i have is after watching your vids i rather like the eq5 or 6, money is a bit of a prob but not a big one which of of the mounts would you recomend and why?

@TheRoach2010 Hi, thanks for the comments, without doubt, if funds allow I would say NEQ6, it's just a lovely mount and at it's price point it's unbeatable, after that it would be HEQ5. The mount is the single most important link in the chain and a good one will give years of good solid service.
