It seems like my setup is correct. This is what Device Hub is giving me when I try to connect the telescope: 15:00:29.837: Telescope - Others: Get Connected flag - False 15:00:29.837: Telescope - Others: Set Connected flag -> True (connected) 15:00:30.358: Telescope - Others: Connection took 0 milliseconds. 15:00:30.358: Telescope - Others: Get Connected flag - True 15:00:31.373: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanFindHome: False 15:00:31.374: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanPark: False 15:00:31.374: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanPulseGuide: False 15:00:31.375: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanSetDeclinationRate: False 15:00:31.375: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanSetGuideRates: False 15:00:31.375: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanSetPark: False 15:00:31.375: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanSetPierSide: False 15:00:31.375: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanSetRightAscensionRate: False 15:00:31.375: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanSetTracking: False 15:00:31.375: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanSlew: True 15:00:31.375: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanSlewAltAz: False 15:00:31.375: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanSlewAltAzAsync: False 15:00:31.375: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanSlewAsync: True 15:00:31.375: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanSync: True 15:00:31.376: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanSyncAltAz: True 15:00:31.376: Telescope - Capabilities: Get CanUnpark: False 15:00:31.376: Telescope - Capabilities: Calling CanMoveAxis( Primary )False 15:00:31.376: Telescope - Capabilities: Calling CanMoveAxis( Secondary )False 15:00:31.376: Telescope - Capabilities: Calling CanMoveAxis( Tertiary )False 15:00:31.376: Telescope - Capabilities: Calling AxisRates( Primary )(done) 15:00:31.376: Telescope - Capabilities: Calling AxisRates( Secondary )(done) 15:00:31.376: Telescope - Capabilities: Calling AxisRates( Tertiary )(done) 15:00:36.383: Telescope - Parameters: Get AlignmentMode Exception: CheckDotNetExceptions ASCOM.UniversalMeade.Telescope AlignmentMode Get System.Exception: Failure reading a byte reply Timed out waiting for received data (See Inner Exception for details) 15:00:36.384: Telescope - Others: Attempting to initialize telescope operation caught an unhandled exception.

Any ideas?

Hopefully, I am in the right spot, but do the comments on this thread also help someone (me) with a Meade 12" LX600? I downloaded the latest Meade.net.Setup.0.7.14.274 WIndows installer. I have been having problems getting my PC to recognize my telescope. I didn't know if I should use the POTH hub, generic hub, or device hub (that didn't work as others have indicated).
