7.The ASCOM Telescope Chooser (Figure 24) will appear. Select your telescope model from the provided choices. If your model does not appear, it is not supported by the ASCOM platform.

8.After you have selected your tele- scope model, click the Properties button.

9.In the window that pops-up, choose your specific Scope Type and desired Serial Port where the computer will send commands to the mount. Click OK when done.

to establish a computer-to-mount communications link if the mount is supported by the ASCOM platform.

10.Click OK in the ASCOM Telescope Chooser window.

11.In the Settings window, click the Close button.

Some telescope mounts, such as the Orion Atlas EQ-G and Sirius EQ-G, uti- lize an “ST-4 compatible” autoguider jack. For easiest autoguiding with these mounts, we recommend purchasing the optional USB Guide Port interface (GPUSB). This adapter box will translate the autoguiding computer commands from MaxIm DL Essentials into ST-4 pulse commands. The GPUSB connects to the computer’s USB port instead of the COM port. A cable then connects the GPUSB to the mount. In addition to installing the ASCOM platform on your computer (from the Install ASCOM button in the Launcher), you will need to install the GPUSB ASCOM driver (downloadable from the Orion website, www.OrionTelescopes.com). Then, you can select the GPUSB in the ASCOM Telescope Chooser.

Other telescope mounts accept commands in the “LX200 Protocol”. For these mounts, it is not necessary to install the ASCOM platform to have the com- puter “talk” to the mount. To setup the autoguider for mounts that use the LX200 Protocol:

1.Connect the StarShoot Pro to your computer and open the Maxim DL Essentials software.

2.In the Camera Control Window, click on the Guide tab.

3.Click on the Settings button.

4.In the window that pops-up, select LX200 Protocol for the Autoguider Output Control Via. Select the COM Port of the computer you would like to use to send commands to the telescope

5.Click the Apply button, then click the Close button.
