Then you should be able to select Celestron Scope Driver in the ASCOM Telescope Chooser dialog box that comes up when you press Connect to Telescope within PHD (the button with the telescope on it).

[Re: pizzaboy71]       #3199240 - 07/04/09 06:50 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Assuming the ASCOM platform and Celestron Scope driver have been installed properly when you press "Connect To Telescope" in PHD you will get a diaglog box called ASCOM Telescope Chooser. Choose "Celestron Telescopes" (in PHD 1.6) or "Celestron Scope Driver" (in PHD 1.1) in the drop down menu. The Properties button will then bring up a Celestron Driver Setup where you can choose the scope/mount type (I use the first CG-5 on the list "Advanced C5-SGT").
