Question
BillTin
I am new to astro photography and decide to add a Celestron focus motor to my set up. I installed the focus motor's driver from Celestron and I can control the telescope and focus motor using Celestron CPWI software. When I use BYE I can slew the telescope but the focus motor control does not work. I selected in BYE the Celestron driver for the motor and it shows in the Ascom Focuser control area as AscomCelestronUsbMotor. Also, I notice that when I selected the ascom driver for the telescope the Celestron CPWI was and option as driver and that is what I am using. As per the focus motor I did not have that option and I selected Celestron USB Focuser. The focus motor is plug into the mount aux port. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Bill

You should install the latest Celestron ASCOM driver since it supports both the telescope and optionally the focuser. If you want to, you could ask Celestron tech support about what you are trying to

I have successfully calibrated the focuser twice using the Celestron utility program. BYE does operate the focuser correctly if plug directly to the laptop via usb. The problem is when the focuser is

Thank you for your help and I would like to mention that I am very impressed with BYE. My telescope set up is a beginners level the least to say. I found the BYE very well design and intuitive. I am
