SC stopped remembering location

[woldsweather]

I have been using SC 4 years and suddenly I have to input my last/long every time I star Sharpcap in order to connect to the mount (along with COM baud rate etc etc. How do I get it to remember these?

Hi,

those details should be remembered by the ASCOM driver for the mount, rather than SharpCap. Have you updated or changed that recently?

thanks,

Robin

No haven't touched it.

[admin]

Ok,

what ASCOM driver are you using? What mount?

cheers,

Robin

The mount is HEQ5 PRO Rowan modded. It has worked fine since I gor the mount a couiple of years back I have no idea now specifially which ascm driver but never had a problem till just lately it wouldnt connect and I found it hadn't all me settings in.

In that case, it could be

One from Skywatcher, which might be labelled 'Synscan' or 'Skywatcher'

or...

EQMOD which looks a bit like this :

is that any help identifying it?

cheers,

Robin

Sorry it could be ... what?

[woldsweather]

I go in the EQMOD driver set up each time I use it to add lat/long height asl baud rate etc etc which I have never had to do before.

Hi,

EQMOD should remember all of those things for you, rather than having to enter them every time.

I would suggest it might be a good idea to uninstall and then reinstall EQMOD to see if that fixes the problem. The latest versions can be downloaded here
