Lakeside focuser wont connect
My focuser needs to go through a Startech USB hub which operates on ports 10 and 11. SC only goes up to port 9 . Can this range be extended or how can I connect the focuser without going directly to my laptop which already has the mount, a camera and the hub in the only three ports.Any suggestions welcome. seven other devises work from the hub on ports 10 or 11 without problems.

Hi,
the UI to choose the COM port will be coming from the ASCOM driver for your focuser, not from SharpCap - you will probably need to contact the makers to get them to fix this in their driver.
Hope this helps, Robin

Re: Lakeside focuser wont connect
an error occurred while trying to connect to your celestron usb focuser focuser
It was working fine yesterday and started getting this issue today.
Also, my ZWO camera shows a white circle and another ring on top of it instead of an image.
