10 Micron Scope does not raise error on failure of Connected=True

[Peter Hannah]

Hi Bob

Occasionally it happens that the scope does not connect during StartupObs, but instead of reporting an exception it just reports 'OK'. I've customised StartupObs quite a lot and I've attached the full file, but the relevant code is:

    try {
        if(!Telescope.Connected) {
            Util.WaitForMilliseconds(5000);
            Console.PrintLine("Connect ACP to the telescope, will auto-home if needed");
            Telescope.Connected = true;                  // (Requires driver "home on connect")
            Console.PrintLine("OK");
        } else {
            Console.PrintLine("Telescope already connected");
        }
    } catch(ex) {
        Console.PrintLine("**StartupObs Failed to connect to the Telescope:");
        Console.PrintLine("  " + ex.description);
        throw new Error(0x80040001, "==== Startup failed, cannot continue");
    }

I would prefer the startup to fail so I get an email notification and can take corrective action. I was hoping you might spot why this is happening (not the failure to connect, but the failure to report the failure).

Thanks
Peter.
