	Hi, We're trying to put the pieces together, now that we have a Digital Domeworks Homedome delivered. Question: Given we have an ASCOM compliant TheSky driver...
123		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Mar 6, 2001 6:40 am
	If I understand your question -- the "ASCOM compliant driver" is a telescope control driver. It exposes an inteface ("Telescope") that is meant for telescope...
124		Pat Browne brownep@...	Mar 6, 2001 4:34 pm
	THis makes a lot of sense. I don't know if we(smartsoftees) have the savy to produce a reference implementation for an ASCOM wrapper; your comments about the...

	... I've added a few non-astronomical software-hardware widgets that use the Component Object Model to our mix at 701 over the last few months, and this sort...

	Bob, ... TheSky does not expose any dome control. Software Bisque's dome control is handled through Automadome. ... This way, a single method latches both...

	Hi all -- It's been quiet here for a few weeks. We're just wrapping up the final Telescope interface SDK... It is looking really great. I added a couple of ...

	Hi there, I have two scripts, and both give similar erros when I run them with the new SDK,using ACP and the script controls. The ACP complains about the...
134		Pat Browne brownep@...	Mar 18, 2001 5:13 pm
	No,there is no problem with the console.printline. I realized it was a case of uninitialized data. I noticed the declination on the ScopeSim display was close...

139		Steven S Tuma stuma@...	Mar 27, 2001 2:11 am
	Is anyone currently working on an Ascom compliant driver for the Celestron Ultima telescope. I was thinking about writing one if no one else has started?...

141		Steven S Tuma stuma@...	Mar 28, 2001 4:21 am

143		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Apr 3, 2001 3:41 pm
	Steve -- NOVAS-COM does support Sun and Moon, but Kepler (which is the ephemeris generator for NOVAS-COM) doesn't. Of course, Sun is just Earth backwards, as ...
144		Steve Foster Steve@...	Apr 3, 2001 4:53 pm
	Bob, Thanks for the info. I'd guessed the bit about Earth/Sun reversal but I found Earth co-ordinates always came out as zeros in this co-ordinate system! ...

	With .NET being mercilessly flogged by Microsoft, it might be a bit scary that we're building on Windows Script. Not so. Windows Script will be around for a ...
