Are you sure those are the latest drivers? The current drivers as listed on the ASCOM site <http://ascom-standards.org/Downloads/ScopeDrivers.htm> are
"Meade LX200 Classic and Autostar #494, #495, and #497 (combined telescope/focuser, 5.0.3)" and "Meade LX200GPS and LX200R (combined telescope/focuser, 5.0.0)" Those names may be abbreviated in the "scope chooser" window. The first one should be the correct one for your LXD75. -John ----- Original Message ---- > From: travisedwin <[email protected]> > > I recently had a serious laptop failure and had to reformat my hard drive.
