Are you running the latest ASCOM-V2 driver ver.
5.07.02?
Next, run the ASCOM V2 driver “SETUP TELESCOPE utility,
and double check its “current site” Lat/Long.
You may want to repeat this checking on these driver current site values ,
between each step, to see whether it changes before or after Maxim starts, and
also before and after SKYX starts. This will tell you which of these two may be
changing the ASCOM driver.
I assume SKYX is setup to use ASCOM and not its own SB
driver, which may have different site coordinates, than the AP’s ASCOM-V2
driver
