Hi,

weird - works for me (I have a FocusCube). I was using the latest SharpCap 64 bit and the latest Pegasus Unity. I will add some logging at that point in the code so if it continues to happen I can work out why SharpCap is thinking it is Alpaca. The only thing that I can think of to suggest is to make sure that your ASCOM Platform is up to date.

cheers,

Robin

Hi,

well, that all sounds fine then. We will have to wait until the next update to work out what is going on. Note that you don't actually get much when you do show the setup window for Pegasus devices that are working via Unity - all that pops up is a device chooser window so that you can choose the right device to use (if, for instance you have 2 or more focus cubes). All of the settings are adjusted separately in Unity.

cheers,

Robin
