Connection problem to Orion StarShoot Autoguider (SSAG)

[Forum_2014]

I have used PHD with SSAG on my Win8 64-bit laptop with no problem.

Now I would like to try to use AA5 for guiding with dithering between subframes (to get rid of using dark frame). However, I have not been able to use any CCD plugins to make AA5 find SSAG. From AA5's webpage, it seems that I need to use ASCOM interface to connect to SSAG. I have tried both
1. Orion Starshoot autoguider, without ASCOM driver. - 1.0
2. Orion II, III, PRO, Starshoot, monochrome and color - 1.0 (, which is the same to ASCOM generic driver - 1.50)

But I didn't see SSAG either directly or via ASCOM.

So I would appreciate if someone has use this popular SSAG with AA5.

And I wonder if the dithering between subframe works with this combo.

Thanks!

You should check if your camera is compatible with ASCOM, if not, you own the very first Starshoot, the only Orion camera which did not came with ASCOM compatibility. In this case you may use the Tom's special driver:

but (I'm not 100% sure) it's not compatible with Windows 64 bit..
