I am starting the Monochrome CCD Cameras tutorial (I have a b&w Atik 414EX camera) and step 1 describes install prerequisites. I have ASCOM 6.3 loaded so I assume I was okay with that. I have PHD2 loaded (this was explained in the Orion Autoguider camera setup) so I think I am okay with that. The other software says Microsoft .NET 4 Framework but my control panel tells me I have Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP2. Are these the same? Seq Gen Pro seems to run okay on my win10 laptop.
Also, I have a Meade LX200GPS 8” which is about 4 years old, and the ASCOM drivers I have downloaded are “Universal ASCOM Telescope Driver for Meade 1.0” and “Meade LX200GPS/R”. Can you suggest which one I should select?
The reason I ask this is because I told Seq Gen Pro to connect all my equipment (which is the “Atik 414ex camera” and "Meade LX200GPS/R” telescope) and it came up with the PHD2 screen. I then told PHD2 to connect all equipment also (which has the "Orion Starshoot Autoguider camera” and "Meade LX200GPS/R telescope”). It connected the camera ok, but it came up with an error trying to connect to the mount (I think it said it could not configure an instance of the mount). Is that because both Seq Gen Pro and PHD2 cannot both load the telescope drivers? If so, which program should I let have control of the mount?
Kind regards
