Sharp Cone and GEM45 iOptron mount

I couldn't find a topic for Sharp Cone questions, so I thought this could be the closest one.
I'm trying to use Sharp Cone with my iOptron GEM45, which clearly is a German Equatorial Mount, but the software doesn't think the same:
"ConeSharp will only work with a German Equatorial style mount...."

Any idea why? Is there a workaround to make SharpCone works with this mount?
Thanks

Ah, this came up before - the older verions of ConeSharp checked for an alignment type of 'GermanPolar' coming from the ASCOM driver, rather than just 'Polar'. I made an update, but I suspect that I only uploaded it to the forums somewhere.

I have just updated the main ConeSharp page with a new download link to that version, which should fix the issue.

cheers,
