The Problem:
When trying to connect to the telescope using Starry Night the following error messages are produced:
Failed to create an instance of the scope driver EQMOD. Telescope
Run-time error '55': File already open
The Solution:
Trash the EQMOD folder found here:
AppData/Roaming/EQMOD
To find the application data location type %appdata%\eqmod into the explorer address bar (makes sure you can see hidden files).
On the next connection the EQMOD folder will be rebuilt.
Worked for one user.
