Hi Bob, ... I see what you mean, it does now look very familiar! I didn't have time to properly understand that thread in October. Is it possible to uninstall...
Thanks again, Peter. I have updated the Platform installer Jon's files... The nice thing is that he provided them all with installers made from the Inno Setup...

Hi group Don't smoke me for asking my internet has been slowed due to too many downloads this billing month (12GB) so I have not been able to have a look ... ...
Alright, maybe it was too early to post in the forum. I have checked better and I saw that SiteAltitude, SiteLongitude, etc. can be set in the object Telescope...
Hi Gianluca, ... You don't have to set up the serial port every time you use the telescope, same for latitude, longitude and elevation. If you are able to run...
Hi Bob, ... this ... Since we know that the installer does work correctly on a fresh system and that the problem only occurs during upgrade , this suggests...
Hi Gianluca- The purpose of the setup dialog is to sweep up all the one-time (or rare) configuration settings that are device dependent, and not handled by...
I'm sorry, I may have gotten one step ahead of you. I do select Telescope API in TheSky Telescope setup then I go to the POTH setup and configure my mount...

Many thanks for your exhaustive reply! It makes me feel more at ease. And at ~$90 + the 497 I can afford some trial and error. I hope to contribute to the...
