GPUSB/Orion Starshoot/Maxim DL Essential/CGE1400
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2009 8:02 am
Hi--I'm new to the group and could use some help. I have the above equipment. I'm trying to use my Starshoot as an autoguider. I've loaded the latest ASCOM platform and the ASCOM driver from the SS website and tried GPUSBCheck to make sure the motors run. I am using a new cable from SS as well.
When setting up, I open Maxim DL Essentials, click on the Guide tab and then select "ASCOM" for "Autoguider Output Control Via."The problem is when I go to the ASCOM telescope type, I assume there should be a choice called "GPUSB". Is this correct? Again, I have loaded the driver, but do not see a choice that remotely appears to be GPUSB. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or have any ideas?
Thanks,
Randy
