Hello
I use NINA and PhD2 software and I have a problem connecting my guiding camera (an sbig st10xme) and its second chip. I have installed the NINA.SBIG.Tracker.ASCOM.Driver, it appears in the Phd2 equipment, but I get an Ascom error message...
Could someone help me to solve this problem?

Without having your log files or even an idea of what the ASCOM error message says, there's not much we can tell you.  It isn't likely to be a PHD2 problem in any case so I suggest you ask the NINA guys.

Good luck,
Bruce

Hi,
I have already asked to the NINA guys on their online help (Discord), see below the screenshots of the conversation. Then, after test in PHD2 It still doesn't work...
in attached file there is the log files from PhD2.

Thank you for the help

Regards

Kamel

It looks like the ASCOM "driver" you're trying to use hasn't been registered correctly as a COM component in Windows:

Registration is normally done as part of installing the driver so maybe you should go back to NINA and get a more specific answer on this topic.  There's really nothing we can do for you, PHD2 expects this to behave like any other ASCOM camera driver.
