Camera relays not found

Post by Patrick » 18 Apr 2025, 04:40

I am attempting to utilise Celestron's PEC Tool software which is successfully used on my CGX-L mount .This software connects to the mount via a Nexstar handset mini USB port at the handset base and occupies the COM port normally used for connecting to the mount.
Hence the need to utilise the ST4 connection for guiding the mount during PEC Too l operation.
I have the latest ASCOM Platform and drivers, also for all accessories and including the ZWO -ASI Camera and ASCOM Setup files.
Almost everything I connect to AA9 SP1 works as designed.
The camera used here is the ASI290MINI .
In Camera Control ASCOM is selected as MAIN Camera. I then Press SETUP then Connect and in the Chooser frame I select ASI Camera (1) ). After connecting the camera an attempt to connect to the telescope using (what I believe is the correct method) Camera 2 relays as the GOTO and for Guide Same connection as goto resulted in the response Camera relays not found.
I seek advice as to what should I have done - or be doing?
Regards,
Patrick.

Hello, if for this test the ASI290MINI is used as a main camera, then the relays to be selected in the Telescope Window is "Camera 1 relays" (or "ASCOM camera relays").

No "Camera 1 relays" - but "ASCOM camera relays" works.
Thank you.
Patrick.
