I have recently added a Celestron Focuser to my Celestron C8. I have it selected in hardware in SC settings. I have the Driver installed.
It shows bottom right in SC bet when I click set up an ASCOM box pops up with a drop down menu but there's nothing in the menu to select.
How do I get SC to connect to it so I am able to use the SC focusing assistant?

Hi,
does it look a bit like the image shown here?

There is a discussion based on that here :

The outcome of that seems to be that maybe you have the wrong ASCOM driver installed and need the Celestron USB focuser driver? Apparently that can be found here :

Note that I don't have any Celestron focuser, so this is all a bit of guesswork - hopefully not too far wrong.
cheers,
Robin

If I search for ASCOM focuser driver on the Celestron page it just comes up with the focuser itself not software.
