Hi Kris, Thanks for reporting that a reboot helped. I had forgotten that sometimes Windows doesn't do a good job of loading a new program. Glad you got it working. Don W

UPDATE - CASE CLOSED I rebooted my PC. (I rarely do this, as I work remotely and hibernate the PC, to be able to access it via Wake-on-Lan and TeamViewer.) I had over a number of days remotely re-inst

Thank you Paul. The USB COM port is COM8 (see screenshot). The mount works fine via that port when I press the arrow keys of the SiTech app, even when SiTech has been opened from SGP or ASCOM Device h

Have you got the com port set up in Sitech ? Does the sitech interface show connected or faking servos? If the com port is available for the ascom device hub (or sgp) then it will show in the windows

No firewall or antivirus as far as I can see.

Hi Kris, Do you have an antivirus program running or a firewall? Those can prevent a connection, but they should also allow you to set an exemption. Don W

Thanks Don. Howere, that is precisely my point. SGP cannot connect directly to SiTech. SGP hangs. There must be an issue “binding” ASCOM Device Hub or SGP to SiTech. I have repaired ASCOM 6.5, updated

#ascom #mesu

Hi Kris, All I can suggest is don't use ASCOM HUB - you don't need it. SGP will connect to SiTechexe just fine directly. Don W

I have this odd problem. And everything used to work. SiTech.exe accesses my mount fine: I can move the mount with the arrows.oSO my PC recognizes the USB port of the mount. Test 1 - Starting with all

It was Don who put me onto the idea in the first place Shaun. It's so useful because you can do daytime testing for slews etc. I found it optimised my night sessions, and no fiddling around in the dar

Thanks Don. I only came across your post advising that there is a typo in the Initialising instructions when performing it with the handset. Thanks to you and Paul for helping with my newby dumb quest

#ascom #mesu #question

Hi Paul, I cannot thank you enough for the assistance. I was using a Initialising routine that required the Hand Controller and the scope pointing at the Zenith. I am sure that pointing at the Zenith

Hello ZS1RA, You'll need to do two things 1) Initialise your mount and 2) Set up your horizon file. (It is possible via a sitech config option to ignore the horizon file, but from my experience I woul

Thanks for taking the time to reply Don. The programs that I use are Stellarium and PHD2. I have been having problems connecting with these programs so I ran Ascom Driver Connect to test the connectio

What program are you running that you want to connect to the SiTechexe system? ASCOM is a stand-alone program. You are choosing the wrong setting for SiTech, use SiTechDLL Telescope, not ASCOM.SiTechD
