just had the chance to set-up the HEQ5/ EQMOD and CdC V3.... Went to View/ Position and changed it arbitrarily to 6 hr and 60deg North. This centres those coordinates on the screen but still doesn't allow the EDmod to slew/ GOTO the position :( It seems CdC ONLY recognises positions from its databases..
