    I have two separate rigs, each with their own independent MFP2 setups. I have distinct and separate NINA profiles for each. Each rig has different min and max steps for the focuser; however, when I load the focuser if I make a change in profile the change carries over to the other profile. Is there a way to setup two separate MFP2 ascom drivers for each rig? See screen capture to see the settings I am talking about. Thanks.

    there are already two ascom drivers
    myFP2ASCOMSetup281
    and
    myFocuser2ASCOM1Setup281

    Yes, if you used a single ascom driver on a telescope, then moved your computer to another telescope and used the the ascom driver then yes, you get what you described.

    There is a section in the PDF re using apps/ascom driver for multiple scopes.

    Ascom drivers do not support profiles.

    With the windows app
    1. setup the first telescope
    2. save the profile into telescope1
    3. move to the second telescope
    4. do not select use profile before connecting
    5. configure to the correct settings
    6. save to a profile called telescope2

    From that point on,
    everytime you load the windows app
    first - load profile - then connect
    so if on telescope1 you would load the profile for telescope1 before connecting
    and
    if using telescope2 you would load the profile for telescope2 before connecting

    Thanks. I had completely forgotten about that. Much appreciated.
