Hello,

I'm getting a sporadic error with The Sky6 connected to an Atlas EQG mount using EQMOD and connected with the ASCOM driver TeleAPI.

The error is "The selected telescope driver is missing the right ascension property". There doesn't seem to be any particular event which causes this error. The mount can track for hours or for minutes at times before the error comes up and "crashes" The Sky program.

WinXP sp3 The Sky6 Pro The Sky Telescope 5.0.3 Setup ASCOM telescope driver ASCOM 5b EQMOD v1.20G PHD Guiding 1.11.0 using "Pulse guiding" Maxim DSLR 5.08

I look forward to your assistance. Barry

This is most often caused by the driver itself exiting ("crashing"). The next time TheSky tries to call out to the driver via TeleAPI, it can't even bind to the RightAscension property, that error os raised, and THeSky dies. I know, it's a pretty poor error message.

I would start by talking to the EQMOD group on Yahoo Groups Perhaps someone there can help. Before doing so, though, takew a look around and see if the driver is still running. I suspect it won't be. Make sure to tell them that, if it's the case.
