... I've never managed to get to grips with which versions of Starry Night work with ASCOM. I suggest that you try it with ASCOM and the telescope simulator....
... I noted this, and it's a bug in the ASCOM Platform installer. The ScopeSimHelp.htm file needs to be installed along with the simulator itself. Good job...

Hi Chris, I download the CelestronDriver4.2.15 and installed. The result was exactly the same. Uninstalled everything and reinstall them back, still the same. ...
... Do you get an error message while the scope is moving? If you do then TheSky is trying to contact the driver when it should not. If so then what seems to...
