Hi folks, I notice Ekos has a listing for my Skyguider Pro as one of the available listed mounts in it's mounts database, but I'm at a loss as to how I would use this mount listing. Right now I'm controlling guiding with PHD2 via the ST4 connection on my ASI120MM camera, so I set the mount to Telescope Simulator. If I set the mount to SkyGuider Pro, Ekos cannot control the mount via ST4.

However, if I was to connect the optional iOptron Go2Nova 8408 Hand Controller to the SkyGuider Pro, and then connect the mount to the computer via Go2Nova/USB and appropriate cables, would Ekos then be able to control the SkyGuider Pro using the SkyGuider Pro mount listed in the Ekos mount database? I know it would only be able to control it along RA, but it's primarily a curiosity for me because I don't understand why you would otherwise list the SkyGuider Pro in the mount database. At best, it seems it would automate polar alignment, but more than anything else I'm curious why the SkyGuider Pro  is listed as an available mount.

Thanks.

I am also curious about the SkyGuider Pro listing and if it is anything beyond a dummy placeholder device.

It's just a dummy placeholder device (telescope simulator).
