Alpaca issues

I tested ASCOM Alpaca but I found there are some properties are not supported correctly.

For example, Telescope SiteElevation is float type but NINA only tried to convert it Int and threw exception.

I didn’t test all properties but RightAscensionRate and DeclinationRate are also showing the same issue.
