No, this isn't going to work, since you are using "ASCOM" as the mount  
type, and that does not have any alignment stars associated with it.  
For it to work I will have to add a popup menu to the ASCOM mount  
definition with the name of the actual mount being controlled. I might  
look at that today. Or I might not... :^)
