This is (probably) outside the scope of the telescope standard, but I thought I'd throw it in here for what it's worth... Q: When is a telescope not a...
Hi Tim, ... Very good. It also suggests to me that we're in a little bit of trouble for multi-device runs. Two cameras on one mount with two focusers, and one...
... As a data point only, and not intended to drive the spec in any particular direction: ACP tries to read the optics info from the driver and load that info...
... I'm on my way out the for for my birthday & anniversary :-) so this'll be short... I think the current architecture can handle multiple instances. Either...
Sorry for this off topic, I'll try to keep it short. The recent Discussions of a new standard resulted in Bob Denny shutting down the discussion. This has...
... OK, I've incorporated this into the online spec draft at http://ASCOM-Standards.org/Telescope2.html and I'll comment in a separate message later. -- Bob...
Comments on a few of Louie's points: In V2, I'd rather not see existing properties and methods changed in a way that's not backward compatible with V1. But...
Further comments (in addition to those I posted for Louie Mamakos and those regarding optics I alrady made)) ... Personally, I think that the rates themselves...
The two most popular are the Radio Shack WX-200 (AKA Oregon Scientific WM918) and the Radio Shack AccuWeather/(AKA Oregon Scientific WMR968). I would suggest...
MessageThe Oregon Scientific are popular weather stations, but so are the Davis Instrument, La Crosse, Rainwise, Dallas 1 wire, and the ELV line of weather...
I am finishing up coding software to handle the synchronization of a dome with a scope and I am making it general purpose even though I have an initial need...
... With a GEM when one says the scope is "East" (see SideOfPier in the Telescope 2.0 spec) does that mean "tube east of pier" and hence looking west, and vice...
Good question! I've been going on the assumption that East means the hour angle (RA - ST) is negative, thus that the scope is POINTING east of the pier. But I...
... I assumed it meant OTA physical location. In rereading this property, I can't tell if its read-only or read-write. Flip forcing could be interesting :-) ...
... I have assumed that these specs would be handled by the layer above the dome driver or by the scope spec(s). Example, our Campus Teaching Observatory is a...
... At our 76 cm my labels have always said "tube E (looking W)" or vice versa. I just wanted to clarify things for my DomeSync application GUI. I suggest...
... As Mr. Bill said.. "Oh nooooo" Well, my software's gonna have it backward. Ugh. My bad. I''m not going to change it as it releases probably today or ...
Hi John, ... Fair enough. I think GemRadius, NorthSouth, EastWest are indeed scope specific and would go in the V2 scope spec (or not since that seems to be...
If you can define an equation that handles first your worst case (dome with slit), then you pretty much know the parameters you need to add properties for. You...
Jon, For some reason after Dome.FindHome completes, Dome.AtHome turns on, and then turns off again. Probably it's turning off the next time my application...
Hi Doug, ... It should stay on till some type of move (handset, slew, or park), or a sync, or a home location change due to setup dialog. I just checked the...
... Please provide a pointer. I'd love to see it. Perhaps I can provide an Automdome driver for my real dome. I don't think I'll bother with the simulator...
Matt Bisque is in the process of updating the Automadome spec. If you need something right away, contact Matt directly and he'll send you a copy of the current...
MessageHello, Can you provide a link to these? I have link for the Davis Instruments site, but not the others. Thanks, Jim Waller ... From: lostbowyer To:...
... Oh I see what happened... my implementation does a Sync after Home, because it wants to set what the home position Azimuth is. However, the ASCOM...
... This is what I was getting at when I suggested there needed to be a way to get the actual Az for the home position, so that it could be synced. Or better...
