linking to Starry Night

I have a 9.25 CPC and I have been trying to link starry night to the telescope. I have loaded the ASCOM drivers for celestron into the Starry night folder but it is not recognized. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks
Pete

You say you loaded the drivers. After installing ASCOM (5.0 is latest version) you need to set it up from the Starry Night Telescope tab. Click on "Configure" Then from the Ascom Telescope Chooser click "Celestron Telescopes". Click "Properties" and then set the scope type to NexStar 9.25 GPS or CPC. Be sure to put in you other info such as com port, mount type, etc... and you should be able to connect.

But...if you've never installed ASCOM before v5.0 then you have no drivers as v5.0 no longer includes them. You must go to the driver page and choose the correct drivers (http://ascom-standards.org/Downloads/Index.htm). For Celestron CPC (and for all Celestron computerized scopes) there is a Celestron Unified driver. Download it and select it from the Starry Night as above.

Assuming you have ASCOM (the program; not just the drivers) loaded and configured, you need to tell us a bit more. What is happening when you try to connect? Often these are problems with serial communications; usually telling the program the wrong serial port number...
