You can effortlessly control the HAE43C mount via a computer using the USB-C port located on the mount base. It supports ASCOM/Commander for Windows PCs and third-party INDI drivers for Mac OS software, offering versatile connectivity options. Additionally, for those who prefer traditional control, the optional 8411 handset provides full GoTo functionality.
