	If I start the MaxIm CCD camera object with: Set cam = CreateObject("MaxIm.CCDCamera") MaxIm appropriately comes up with the selected camera set to be the...

	Larry -- I may be speaking out of turn (for Doug G.), but I would expect the behavior you see. Once you create an object for a camera, I would NOT expect its...

	Hello All -- A couple of weeks ago, I attended the Global Hands On Universe (HOU) meeting at Lawrence Berkeley Labs. Prior to that meeting, I participated in a...

	BRAVO! RASC SMARTSCOPE lends its full support ... From: Bob Denny [mailto:rdenny@...] Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2001 10:18 AM To: ASCOM Talk List Cc:...

	... I think it is an excellent idea to include RTML as an ASCOM standard, especially since it is XML based. As I see it, ASCOM is really about providing ...

	Doug, ... I don't think we should blindly stick to COM Automation as the only supported platform. < I'm glad to hear you say that. While COM is a great way to...

	Hello Bob, I think it is a good idea to support RTML. I would like to suggest a few additions to the standard: 1. Specify minimum altitude instead of...

	Brian -- Thanks for your comments! I'm curious: ... I hear this from time to time but I can't seem to get a specific answer on it. I have my beefs with...
267		charlie@...	Aug 9, 2001 10:57 pm
	Bob- Sounds like a great idea to me. Numerous examples exist that show that adoption of a standard GREATLY promotes development of new and better products and...
268		Brian Warner brianw_mpo@...	Aug 10, 2001 3:13 pm
	Bob, For one, COM is WinTel specific. Since I use Delphi, I can - if I choose not to see anything but my computer for several months - convert the program to...
269		Jeff Medkeff medkeff@...	Aug 10, 2001 3:25 pm
	... It seems to me I've watched COM in use on: 1) DEC Alpha platforms (non-Intel, but running NT) 2) HP-9000 (Motorola RISC) platforms running HP-UX 10.x...
270		Brian Warner brianw_mpo@...	Aug 10, 2001 3:55 pm
	Jeff, At the very least, COM is MS specific. Not everyone loves Bill, though I have no particular complaints. My dealings outside WinTel have been limited to...
271		Douglas B. George dgeorge@...	Aug 10, 2001 4:05 pm
	Larry, The CCDCamera object retrieves all of the camera parameters from the camera driver whenever you start the link. Therefore if you change the camera ...

	... Yes, but to keep this thing manageable we have to pick a reasonable set of platforms and work with those. Right now, for better or (more likely) worse, ...

274		Jeff Medkeff medkeff@...	Aug 10, 2001 4:47 pm
	... Just like Doug keeps his options open by going with a pointy-clicky GUI for Maxim rather than making a no-interface, object-only COM server like my ...
275		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Aug 10, 2001 5:03 pm
	OOoohhh... my apologies for opening a Pandora's box. I didn't mean to start a LINUX vs Windows debate here :-( Brian, I understand your desire to be platform...
276		Brian Warner brianw_mpo@...	Aug 10, 2001 5:10 pm
	Jeff, I was just talking to someone here at work who's had experience with COM off WinTel. He wasn't impressed and, more important to him, was not impressed...
277		Brian Warner brianw_mpo@...	Aug 10, 2001 5:12 pm
	Bob, I didn't mean it to be a ***X vs. WinTel, either. You asked for reasons I didn't support COM absolutely. Event handling was more to the point and still...

	Greetings, For those of you who don't know me, I have 14", 20" and 32" installations the latter two being near Patagonia, Arizona. I wish to hire someone who...

	In the process of adding the ability for ACP2 to look up coordinates for known deep sky objects, I created a little ASCOM server for the purpose. I thought it...

	Hello (Bob Denny??) - I seem to have run into a snag in my efforts to write a Java application that uses the ASCOM Helper.dll file and wonder if anyone here...
282		Marc Chamberlin marcc@...	Aug 13, 2001 7:53 am
	I think I will presume that I was walking down the wrong path with my earlier question, and ask a different question - Is the Helper.dll written to support...
283		Larry Weber larryweber@...	Aug 13, 2001 12:11 pm
	Doug, Thanks for explaining how the MaxIm ASCOM interface handles camera parameters. Since we can't keep the user from changing the camera type, I have adopted...

	Hello George, When is the project time for 3.0? Is it the case that image processing routines, such as median averaging, will be available to calling VBS's? ...
286		Douglas B. George dgeorge@...	Aug 13, 2001 2:57 pm
	... If all goes as planned it will be released next month. ... Yes. The new version includes ASCOM interfaces for the image processing functions. We also are...

	Marc -- [list members, read the WHOLE message if you read anything] Yes, the helper, as well as all of the other ASCOM components are COM objects, and in...

	My previous message could make it sound like using ActiveX is "hairy". When running ActivceX capable programs like Microsoft Office, VB-based things, and any...
