Anyone who provides software that uses internet connections would do well to obtain the pre-release XPSP2 and make sure their product still works. MS has...
I was going to post this as a question, but I got it worked out, so now it's just an FYI... I am adding some scripting in Javascript so that users will be able...
Hi Folks, I am stuck at a point where I am supposed to use the the LPI imager under Linux. Has anyone ever tried it with Linux or provide me some useful ...
... No, but if you know how to program, you could modify the open-source ASCOM Dome Control Panel to do that. The source code is included with the ASCOM...
I believe this could be done with nothing more than a script, using Matthias Busch's FITS object. http://www.easysky.de/ASCOM/Image/FITS.htm Something along...
... Hmm... this sounds like a chicken and egg problem. How can you take an image through the dome unless it is already pointed in the right direction? ... Can...
Basically what we are trying to do is position are telescope first, then positon the opening of the dome where the telescope is, in order to take short...
... If you can get the position into the FITS header, surely you can get it into an ASCOM telescope driver. It would be much easier for us to come up with a...
Does your Dome have an ASCOM driver? I assume you must have an automation system or you wouldn't be trying to position it using ASCOM. What model is it? If it...
... Now I am even more confused. I think you plan to take a blank image with the scope, somehow extract the telescope position from the FITS headers, then feed...
I think the FITS header is a red hearing, it sould like they just need to have the ASCOM dome control in the loop to allow the dome to slave to the scope. ... ...
That last email was not from Bob and it probably contains a virus. My antivirus quarantined the attachment. I’ll delete it from the message archives. Tim...
... The Sphinx mount is addressed via a network interface rather than serial. There will be telescope control for the Sphinx in the near future (whatever that...
I'm sorry that I haven't been giving all of the correst information about my problem. The problem that we are having with our dome is that we currently operate...
... If you have the ability to write a driver for your dome based on the ASCOM Dome Standard, then you can use the standard ASCOM Dome Control Panel to...
... One of the local club members was working on one, but I gather there must have been some difficulties because it was never finished. Then I heard that TI...
The TI DDW ASCOM Dome driver is a reality. I have partnered with Technical Innovations and have been working on it for a while. The driver has been in beta...
We are pleased to announce the long-awaited upgrade for the Sequencer line of software products. CCDAutoPilot 1.0 adds new capabilities to further automate...
I have already send this mail but after testing many hours I found not the solution. I have problem with the ACL driver and Ascom (I believe this problem are ...
I'm working on a dome driver for my home-brew dome controller and am not certain of the intention of the FindHome and AtHome functions. Initially I thought...
Dave, If CanFindHome is false, then the dome control panel ought to ignore the requirement for homing. However, it's been quite a while since I wrote the...
Ever wanted a sensor to alert you when the sky clears? Or to warn you when your unattended telescope is looking at clouds -- or getting rained on? The...
I'll explain why I *need* to do this at a later time but can the following be made to work? Warning!... reading this may make your head hurt! Say I write a...
Sounds like a precession issue to me. The mount and the program are using different epochs? One using J2000 and the other epoch of the day should result in...
... Mark, ... That was also my idea, but the too programs are set to the same precession (JNOW) and the original ACL driver in the sky work perfect. Also when...
