<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>
<br>
I am owning a SkyWatcher HEQ5 Goto mount. Is there a way to control this mount
using KStars? I know it is possible to use Ascom drivers with my mount with
EQMod and a direct connectors (no handpad).<br>
<br>
Is there a way to connect KStars/INDI client to Skywatcher EQ mounts?<br>
<br>
If not, which mounts available in any astro retailers are compatible with
KStars/INDI?<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Fabien</p>
