Hello Everyone, So Today I have received my first Astrophotography Setup ( I am a complete beginner, I have never done astrophotography before)  A SkyWatcher Gti Mount and a ZWO ASI2600MC AIR Camera, Ive been at it for about an hour and cant figure out how to connect the camera to the mount to power it, Nor how to power the Mount itself, The mount powers on by itself without any connection from 8 batteries, then when i try to plug in the camera, it doesnt turn on.
Any Help is appreciated, Thank you so much

Heya, agree this is a little cryptic so here is my setup which seems to work:
- use batteries to power the GTi. I think in theory you can power it from the camera but these mounts are sensitive to power supply and battery is just the easiest/safest option for me
- normal power supply goes into the camera
- use the usb 3 cable (the square one) that I think comes with the camera to plug the mount into the camera
- in the asiair app use eqmod mount as the mount type

I think that's it, let me know if you are still stuck
