Have you tried reaching out the N.I.N.A. support via Discord? Rather strange it works only one direction.

[I.C.D (Ian)]

Yeah I have left a thread their and waiting for an answer may not get an answer until tomorrow

Hello Ian

I am using NINA but have a Celestron focuser, it has works well but one of my cameras didn't work reliably.

The solution was to remove the ASCOM drivers for the camera ( ZWO ) and to re-install them.

I'm not sure if it was NINA, ASCOM or ZWO but doing that made it all work happily together.

Hope this helps.

Ian, going by your Discord post in March, it seems the JMI driver is still 32-bit?

Hi Sean I went back to Nina x86 hoping to fix it but it didn't, I may have to buy another focuser that will support Nina

I have a second scope with a Skywatcher focus motor driven by an old Shoestring Astronomy FCUSB controller. The ASCOM driver for is is 32bit. SGP handles it fine, but NINA can't connect with it at all. Guess it doesn't like 32 bit drivers.

Try reaching out on facebook. They respond pretty quick on their page

Hi Neil I have already emailed both Nina and Shoestring,one said to ask the other to upgrade to x64 and the other is in no hurry to do so, so I have removed my focuser from Nina and I am focusing manually unless someone can tell me of another way of connecting my computer focuser to Nina other then ASCOM.

Hi Ian, that's a shame. Sorry, I don't have any suggestions around NINA.
While not ideal, you could perhaps focus with SharpCap then switch to NINA, although that doesn't help much if you need to refocus during a sequence.
