Ok,

try this

https://d.sharpcap.co.uk/download.html? ... 4.0.8567.0

I sorted out the error handling in SharpCap and also found that the ASCOM driver has a small bug when reporting that it is not connected - this was basically stopping the connection request from ever being sent to the driver. I've worked around it for now (and also reported it to Pegasus - although they might be getting tired of my bug reports!)

cheers,

Bingo! It works. I'm sure Pegasus will appreciate your making their rotator work with SharpCap.
Thanks

Robin,

FYI Just tested Moonlite NiteCrawler rotator (3.5inch, current ascom driver)- seems to work fine....
At least I was able to rotate the Moon and rotated it back!

Thanks - I had asked about rotators about 8 month ago, and you got it done just before it actually arrived.

Hi,

thanks for confirming it works. I'm also considering whether to support other ASCOM hardware options - feedback on which are being used most (and how they are used) is welcome.

cheers,

Robin
