	Hello group! Is any one ever tried to use (or saw) the uk orion's DX200 /250 /or 300 telescope with or without the sky sensor2000? How do they work togehter? ...

	The facilities at DC-3.com and ASCOM-Standards.org will undergo an upgrade in network service some time between now and the end of the week. Due to a change in...

	The 5th and hopefully final telescope driver SDK is now online. I expect to have some switchover outages during the day today and possibly into tomorrow, so...

	I have a question. Can anyone tell me which scopes/mounts use the LX200 protocol for Getting Position and Slewing? I'm mainly concerned about those two...

	Hello, This is my first posted message on the ASCOM talk site, so I probably should introduce myself. My name is Michael Stewart. I work for Dr. Greg Guzik at...

	... At first glance, this appears to work for me. Our dome shutter control has just been succesfully tested so I will be writing a dome object over the next...
191		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jun 6, 2001 2:08 pm
	Mike -- This looks VERY well thought out. Congratulations. I have a few comments: (1) The DomeAzimuth property could be named just Azimuth. In code it would be...
192		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jun 6, 2001 2:09 pm
	I think we could settle on N referenced azimuth for use in the interface. I would not like to see it support multiple conventions. All other ASCOM components...
193		John Oliver oliver@...	Jun 6, 2001 2:22 pm
	... I agree, my comment was to indicate that the zero point intended should be stated explicitly in the docs (as it should be for the other ASCOM components...

	Hello, Thankyou Bob, and John for responding to the dome Proposal. I have made the changes ya'll have suggested, and here is another try at an ASCOM compliant...

	Hello everybody, I was wondering if an ASCOM Focuser Interface has been agreed upon. If it has, could somebody please post the ASCOM Focuser class template? If...
196		Douglas B. George dgeorge@...	Jun 7, 2001 8:15 pm
	A suggestion for the telescope interface: Guide ( Direction, Time ) Direction: 1 = North 2 = South 3 = East 4 = West Time: integer in milliseconds -- ...
197		Douglas B. George dgeorge@...	Jun 7, 2001 9:53 pm
	... It has not been finalized as yet. ... I put forward a proposal for a focuser interface that I have been developing. There are have been a few comments on...
198		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jun 8, 2001 12:05 am
	Got it. I'll try to sneak this into the final interface spec and supplied drivers. It will be implemented only in the Meade.Telescope driver. -- Bob...
199		John Oliver oliver@...	Jun 8, 2001 9:36 am
	... And of course the RHO18 spec :) ... will you add support for this in ACP2? John...
200		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jun 8, 2001 1:04 pm
	John -- I'm adding this for Doug, assuming that he has an immediate need for being to move the scope at "guide" rates. I'm not sure what ACP would use it for....
201		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jun 8, 2001 1:33 pm
	Hello -- I'm going to make the Chooser a general purpose device, not just for Telescope drivers. I'll make it default to behave as it does now, so none of the...
202		John Oliver oliver@...	Jun 8, 2001 1:36 pm
	... That's OK ... I recompile it about 3 times a day now anyway :) Keep up the good work. -- John...
203		Douglas B. George dgeorge@...	Jun 11, 2001 3:30 pm
	Michael Stewart of LSU recently asked me for a suggestion for a standardized telescope interface. I thought I would echo my response in this forum for ...
204		Jim Vail jimvail@...	Jun 11, 2001 8:21 pm
	Doug, My Meade 416 XTE sometimes gets "out of sync" when I run a script. For some reason, the shutter indication is "open" when the camera is connected. If I...
205		Douglas B. George dgeorge@...	Jun 11, 2001 8:52 pm
	... It wouldn't help; you can't force the shutter on a 416XTE. The camera's interface doesn't provide that level of control. That particular camera model is,...
206		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jun 11, 2001 9:22 pm
	It's a banner day! Thanks to all of your inputs, testing, implementation, and support, the ASCOM Telescope Driver Interface Specification (1.4) is completed...
207		Douglas B. George dgeorge@...	Jun 12, 2001 3:48 pm
	Bob asked me to repost this proposal because the original subject line was on another thread. I've also taken the time to expand the commentary that was in my...

	... FYI, I'm cross-posting my reply to the ASCOM-Talk list. ... I have fundamental issues with this. It would require all camera interfaces to include JPEG &...
