STARGO2 Pro with N.I.N.A. and ASCOM? was created by Planet30
I am very new to ASCOM. I can use Carte Du Ciel on my Mac and access the new mount controller by accessing/logging into the StarGO2 ASCOM server.

On Windows and after installing ASCOM and NINA, I cannot find the STARGO2 mount in the ASCOM chooser. How do I get NINA to connect to the mount via its IP address?
Thank you for your help.

Sorry, my text got dropped from the images I just shared.

You have to enable Alpaca Discovery in the ASCOM Chooser. Click the word Alpaca, and then click to enable discovery. Doing that should add a green rectangle to Alpaca Discovery and allow you to see StarGo2 Telescope in the selection drop down menu.

Thank you so much! This worked!

First the little "light" was always red. I had to change the security settings in Windows to make the PC discoverable in the network, which was disabled by default.

Now All I need is good weather :-)
Progress!
