Just purchased a Paramount MyT. Although I have it on the pier and can turn it on, I can't use it until I receive some counterweights and go through the balancing procedure.
Using SkyX I'm able to connect to the mount, camera, focuser etc. What selection for "Telescope" should I use when connecting to Prism? The only ASCOM selection I can use is "Simulation". Since I can't move the mount (see above) I don't know if there is a connection between Prism and the MyT.
Suggestions?

good morning Hank
Can you please share your findings with us? I am sure someone else can benefit. Also, I have my new observatory up and running and I can make demos on how PRISM can interact with Paramounts. So far, no issue.
Thanks

Hi Hamza,
Happy to help others who run into this problem.
I have a Paramount MyT mount and I was having difficulty getting Prism to connect to my mount as the MyT wasn't showing up in the choices panel for mounts. On the Bisque website there is a download called "ASCOM 2X Mount Adapter Installer. I downloaded this file to my PC and with The Sky Professional Edition running, I connected to my mount. (According to the Bisque website this will only work using The Sky Professional Edition.)
Hamza then had me minimize SkyX and open Prism. I was able to select the MyT from the Telescope/Mount panel and connect it.
So ... I'm a happy camper - Prism is running my mount, camera, and focuser.
