The celestron driver works for me also, but with a motorised dome, you must have a way to sync the two. I use poth, it goes to the mounts ascom driver and to the domes ascom driver.

Without that ascom driver to the mount I'm screwed. Doing ascom via the handset means entering times/dates etc before you can do anything. You should be able to bypass that crap so the pc has control from turn on.
