I'm new here, seeking an answer as to how to connect my scope to this program. I understand I need to do three things. 1) download CDC 2) download the "ASCOM Plugin 1.2" from the Cartes download page. 3) download the ASCOM program.
I'm stuck on number 2. The folder created in my VISTA operating system after I download the Plugin will not open. I think it's supposed to be a .zip file, but the donwloaded file reads: ASCOM.tid and my computer doesn't recognize it. I've got a laptop running Vista, I've got an Orion Atlas mount, and I've got a USB to serial cable going from the scope to the computer. Thanks for any ideas!
