David, here are the txt instructions to install the drivers for the sky.

TheSky ASCOM Plugin
===================

This plugin allows Software Bisque's TheSky to communicate with
ASCOM-compliant telescopes via TheSky's "TeleAPI" feature.

Installation
------------

(1) Rename the file

C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\TeleAPI.dll

to TeleAPI-Original.dll

(2) Copy the ASCOM TeleAPI.dll to

C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\TeleAPI.dll


One-time Telescope Setup
------------------------

(1) In TheSky, Telescope menu, select Setup...

(2) In the Control System box, select "Telescope API"

(3) Click Settings... to open the ASCOM Telescope Chooser and
select the ASCOM compliant telescope you wish to use.

(4) Now click Properties... in the Chooser, which will display
the settings window for the telescope type you just chose. Make
adjustments as your telescope needs.

(5) Close all windows including the TheSky Telescope Setup
window by clicking OK or Close. Do not click any Cancel buttons
:-)

Operation
---------

(1) Make sure both your telescope and TheSky are set for the same
geograpic location and time.

(2) In TheSky, Telescope menu, select Link->Establish. You should
see the cross-hairs indicating where the telescope is pointing.


Cheers Daniel.
