Hi all, Some genius on this forum suggest that we up the wait time BEFORE a slew (and after an image) to 2000ms when talking to TheSky when running the 1100S....
Mike -- Remarkable! :-) When I first read your post I thought that somehow either ASCOM or TheSky softwre had acquired a crystal ball. How could TheSky or the...
Larry, ... I had an e-mail inbox blow-out around that date, so I think your message was lost. I've asked one of the guys to have a look at it. It does sound...
Bob et al, This is curious. I suggested Michael change the delay because I had a similar problem with acquire.vbs and it fixed it for me. In Michaels case a...
... I think you're on the right track, but I would suspect the timing of things in TheSky. COM is pretty bulletproof. I have run billions of cycles through the...
Hi Bob, I may have jumped the gun. I did have one idea though, It might make this easier to test (for Maxim) if one made a version of the camera simulator that...

Hello Bob, ... As you may know by now, after some 10 flawless full-night runs the Sept. 3 UT run was aborted after the 21st image due to an infinite slew, even...

Hi Landrum, ... In our case increasing the time interval between queries to TheSky surely reduced the frequency of the "infinite slews", although as we saw on...

Hello Bob and Landrum, I just learned more about the "infinite slew" problem we had on Sept. 3 (I was traveling, so I didn't see the problem first hand). The...
... (2) seems reasonable. Fopr one thing, if TheSky ever gets covered with another window, such that it's planetarium display is hidden, it stops responding to...

Bob, ... I thought a little more about this and have this remark: I thought that it stopped responding if TheSky's main window was *minimized*. I know it won't...
Paulo, I've had good luck neutering TheSky and using the Teleapi.dll Bob just introduced. As long as you aren't in a situation where there is no ASCOM...

Hello everyone, I'm having trouble getting my NexStar 114HC to work with the 114GT driver. The HC doesn't have the ability to select an option for the RS-232...
The scope simulator does not recognize changes to the state of the "check box" on the setup display. The "Let UTCDate" property in the code provides an error...
Jason: You have the wrong version of the 114HC. The 114 driver only works with the new HC distributed by Celestron in December 2001. Thanks Dennis ... From:...
The spec allows for setting the clock in a telescope, however a telescope is free to return "not implemented" for either getting or setting the time. In the...
Jason: Please let me know if you are having any more problems with the 114 driver. One item I did not include in my earlier e-mail is that the upgraded HC is...
The ASCOM Initiative today announced the second generation of its standards-based software platform for program control and scripting automation of astronomy...
Hi all -- A while back I had a professional designer create a new ASCOM logo. I "roolled it out" along with 2.0. You can see it and download JPEG images and...
I notice that the latest release of ASCOM has a specific driver for Gemini APS-could someone please clarify the meaning of "Sync (#CM),Align (#CM) and "Sync...
I can't get Focusmax to work with the 2.0 ASCOM platform. It won't connect. Any news on how to fix this? It works with MaximDL. Thanks Gerald R. Miller...
I have tested FocusMax with V 2.0 of the ASCOM Platform and it works fine for me so I don't have any clews to what your problem may be. Please tell us some...
