In TheSky6, what have you configured as the "Telescope or control system" drop down box?
If you are using the native drivers, then you've probably selected celestron xxx. Note this is not ASCOM. For ASCOM control, you must select Telescope API.
How do I use the ASCOM driver for XXX From TheSky?
In order to use ASCOM drivers for telescope control from within TheSky, you need to install an adapter called TeleAPI.DLL. After installing the ASCOM Platform, look in C:\Program Files\Common Files\ASCOM\Telescope\Planetarium Plug-Ins\TheSky folder and read 'install.txt'. This gives instructions on how to install the adapter. After you have done this:
1. Start TheSky
2. In the Telescope menu, select Setup... The Telescope Setup window will appear.
3. Set the Telescope or control system Name to Telescope API.
4. Click Settings... to display the ASCOM Telescope Chooser
5. Select your telescope type in the Chooser.
6. Now click Properties... in the Chooser. Verify the settings for your telescope type.
7. Click OK in the Chooser.
8. Click Close in Telescope Setup.
9. Now, in TheSky's Telescope menu, select Link/Establish. You should see the crosshairs indicating your telescope's current position, and you now have telescope control in TheSky.
You need to do steps 2-9 only one time (unless you change your telescope type).
Also make sure you've got the latest ASCOM TheSkyDriver.
