Thanks Pete - well I'm certainly not over-loaded, just the ED80 and that's it.

With the second tip I have now downloaded that and placed it (the.exe and .dll) in the directory where the other one (from ASCOM site) was, and renamed the old one. Just to confirm it is on the Stark Lab site as

"Looking for the Meade ASCOM driver from Jonathan that actually works on your #497 Autostar controller?"

What version of ASCOM platform are you using? I have vers 5, but noted some using 4.1. I tried that, uninstalling 5 and installing 4.1 and noticed a lot more options in the scope choice in PhD... but then I got blue screen of deathed and had to restore back to 5 and am frightened off trying again.

Bits I've read suggest there should be a check box for pulse guding somewhere in the properties screen, but i can't find one?

I've also joined the Yahoo group so thanks for that tip too... membership yet to be confirmed.

cheers,

Rob
