This is how I set up the new SkyWatcher EQ6-R equatorial mount using EQMOD software to replace the need for the GoTo Hand controller. Included is the use of the software of Stellarium and N.I.N.A. to completely automate the telescope.
Once set up is complete and the target(s) is/are selected, the entire system is automatic, even while you sleep. The target in this video is the Western Veil Nebula (NGC 6960) and the globular cluster in Hercules (seen at the end of the video)
