Ascom drivers

[batema (Mark)]

Hi,

My computer died and had to be rebuilt which means I have to reload everything. I use PHD guiding and when I go to connect to scope icon a message comes up saying "Failed to find ASCOM. Make sure it is installed.

Can some on advise me and point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark. A few variables come into play here. If you are using a camera like a QHY5 you will need to set the mount as on camera rather than as Ascom. This is done in the top menu item "Mount".
If you are using a mount which requires guiding via the ascom mount driver then you may need to use the appropriate ascom driver.

Thank you all and Doug you hit the nail on the head and solved my problem.
