The classic astronomical mount offers a decisive advantage: By aligning the RA axis to the celestial pole, the earth's rotation is compensated with only one motor, a rotation of the field of view of eyepiece or camera is compensated. The object remains stably centered. For many decades, amateur astronomers have been working with this proven design, especially when it comes to photography with longer exposure times or observation with high magnifications.
When using N.I.N.A. together with the previous 10micron ASCOM driver, some users experienced issues related to UTC time handling. This could result in error messages within N.I.N.A. as well as incorrect or inconsistent UTC time information being passed from the driver to the software. The issue had also been discussed previously in the 10micron forum.
The cause has now been identified and resolved. An updated version of the ASCOM driver is available here:

We recommend that all users working with N.I.N.A. via ASCOM who encounter connection or synchronization issues install the updated driver.
