Using Llatest ASCOM Device Hub and Celectron ASCOM Driver, updated NexStar+ handset. Windows 10.
After setting up and connecting (tracking on) my CGX-L mount via Device Hub, the RA and Dec values displayed in the Device Hub Telescope State frame change over time but the Alt and Az data do not. Is this normal?
The NexStar+ Get Axis Position display, while only showing relative Alt and Az positions, does change over time.
Have removed, rebooted and reloaded the software. Advice appreciated.
Regards,
Patrick

The Az and Alt positions shown by DeviceHub are the values given by the Celestron mount/driver.

Thank you Bob,
I had set up my mount in Device Hub but I was connecting to and controlling my mount using Astroart (9SP1).
It became apparent todiay that the Alt and Az values displayed in the Device Hub Telescope State frame would be updated in real time if the telescope was first connected (tracking) via Deviec Hub - tthen in Astroart (works for me.)
Regards,
Patrick.

OK, thanks for letting us know about the misunderstanding. You could also connect through DeviceHub.
