First Light - ASCOM error when connect mount
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2024 4:18 pm
Hi, first light with NYX-101 mount. Getting an ASCOM error when connect mount. NINA is unable to get mount time. This is a problem as I use NINA to do polar alignment and it will not plate solv, just goes into endless loop trying. ASCOM and Unity firmware up to date. Tried two separate computers, same error when connect mount. I’m not sure if it is a Pegasus, ASCOM, or NINA problem. Any ideas anyone??
