Hi Shawn,
Sorry, thought the dome was motorised. In this case, you only need to use POTH. Not the Dome and Telescope Hub.

ASCOM compliant programs can act in three modes, client, server or both. There is plenty of information on the ascom site regarding these modes. Its important to understand them in order to get programs communicating.

Within Maxim's Focuser control, I don't believe it is possible to use POTH. It is after all a telescope hub. You may need to specifically select the focuser you are using assuming its on a different serial port. If its integrated, like the LX200R etc, then select the Meade telescope with Focuser. POTH would then also need to configured with the same driver (same as focuser) in order to share the same port for telescope and focuser control. I've never tried the integrated focuser options. With RoboFocus, its always been on another serial port to the telescope, so its been simple to configure.
