Hi,

it looks like you have a different Pegasus ASCOM driver installed to me - I see this

I installed 'ASCOM Focus Driver v2.19' from the Pegasus downloads page.
The COM port shows up as 'USB Serial Port (COM4)' - no Prolific.

This is the hardware I have - the control box is separate from the motor, which is a cube just behind (attached to the blue bracket). Excuse the rats nest of cables!

Actually, I seem to have gotten to the bottom of this now. I emailed Angelos at Pegasus and he said I should be using something called Unity and have this running while I am running SharpCap. Unity seems to be the new 'one stop shop' for all things Pegasus and once I connected this to my Ultimate Powerbox, bingo! Sharpcap can now see my focuser :D

So now I should be able to use your nice autofocus tool (once I figure it out) and I won't need to connect up NINA at all when doing planetary imaging.

Thanks for all your help and patience!
