Hi, I am new to the Star Gazers Lounge and joined because I found your Meade ASCOM driver. First off, thank you for putting it together for us all! I appreciate it! With all the extra time that I have with the pandemic, I decided to break out the old scope. I have been trying to get my old ETX-125EC working with some of the new software for a couple weeks now, with little luck. After following many Google rabbit holes I stumbled across your driver! Unfortunately I am also having a couple issues. I will not say that they are driver related, but something with the APT (Astrophotography Tool) / driver interface is a bit confused. The East/West control is backward, but N/S seems fine. I know there is a setting in the AudioStar controller that will reverse this, but it is working fine with both the controller and Meade AutoStar Suite software. In addition, when first connected to the focus controller, the motor starts running continuously (until manually stopped). The focus control in general is laggy too... it either sticks or doesn't run. I think this is more related to APT, but I have no way to confirm this. I would like to test the ASCOM driver with PHD2, but we have had clouds since I found the driver two days ago. Have you used your driver with APT or PHD2? I am curious if it is my setup or something else. Also, if I can help in any way - run tests or something else, please let me know! Thanks again!
