Feature tracking with Synscan Mobile ASCOM

Hello,
I've noticed that when running the feature tracking tool when connected to mounts like the AZGti connected using the SynscanMobile ASCOM that when you press the calibrate button sharpcap throws an error. The mount does not move and eventually the sharpcap program needs to be restarted.
The error I get is shown below

I don't know if this is an error of something that the Synscan App team can solve or something specific to Sharpcap. In every other sense the ASCOM communication is fine with the mount to move using the Sharpcap mount controls.
Any help would be much appreciated :)

Hi,

This looks very much like a bug in the synscan mobile app driver – I see that SharpCap has asked the Ascom driver whether the mount is tracking or not and the driver has encountered an internal error while trying to answer. If you pass the same screenshot onto the developers of the Ascom driver it should give them a good idea of what the problem is.

Hope this helps, Robin

Thanks Robin, I have emailed the skywatcher app team as you suggest. I'll let you know if I get a response.
