Hello.
I've started to use the eqmod, telescope driver and would appreciate advice on the best way to gain a good understanding. For example, are there any threads in the forum I should attend to or any textual documentation I can chase up?
Thanks
Robert
PS: I'm already familiar with EQASCOM; but don't fully understand the sync and align interfaces in INDI implementation.

Looks as though I'm asking a difficult question or a very dumb one. There are some aspects of both Sync and Alignment tabs that I can't intuit; and I can't find any documentation that explains either. I have just started to read the source code. I would really appreciate a hint whether this is a the only approach to a good understanding of how the Sync and Alignment functions work.
You really don't have to worry much. The only thing to check is which alignment mode you want whether N-Star or something else. Besides that, you just slew to your target, and if the target is off, you use NSEW motion to center it, then you click on the same target in KStars and select "sync". If you're using Ekos with Astrometry, it's even easier. Just slew to target, then run the solver in the Ekos Align module, and make sure to select "Slew to Target". So it solves the images, and then it syncs the EQMod and then slews to target. Works like a charm on my HEQ5.
