Hi to the Group, I need the last aquireimages.vbs prior to OCT 3rd. This latest script since oct3 has some async slew problems with an ACL telescope. If anyone...
I'm working on this one -- the answer is not to rev back to an ancient version of the script. There were many many changes and additiona to ACP2 and the...
I have fixed some bugs in the AP GTO driver and have sent the code off to Bob for inclusion in the next drop of ASCOM. If you want to beta test it, send me...
I just downloaded ASCOM (ASCOM_Platform_1.2_Setup.exe) onto my Win2000 Dell Laptop. When I click the downloaded application, I immediately get the following...
Hi Gang -- I want to publicly thank Arne Danielsen and Ajai Sehgal for their generally high quality driver development, and particularly for using the sources ...
I downloaded the file again and the installation went smoothly. Oddly, the old and new files are identical (same number of bytes and even the Unix utility diff...

Bob, I finally had an opportunity to test your revised driver helper over the weekend. The new version does reduce the overhead; I don't appear to get into a...
Greg -- Very strange. I have posted a new DriverHelper (1.1.10) which has reverted a change in ClearBuffers that may be the culprit. Let's see how this works....
Hi Bob: When I created the NextStar 114GT Driver the hand Controller Celestron shipped with the scope was defective. Since that time Celestron has upgraded...
I'm sorry if this is a little off-topic for this group, but you guys seem to be the most likely to have an answer for me. I have a Questar with their...

Bob, Thanks for the new version to test. My usual telescope test time is on Saturday, so you might not hear from me until next week. I have had my share of...
Bob, It's very gratifying to hear that you appreciate the work! Thank you very much!! Best regards, Arne -- Arne Danielsen Langhussenter 15, 1405 Langhus,...
Hi Bob: When I created the NextStar 114GT Driver the hand Controller Celestron shipped with the scope was defective. Since that time Celestron has upgraded...
Dennis -- Typical head-up-xxx hardware guys. Is there a simple way to check at run time, when the scope is first connected, which flavor you need? If so, that ...
REPOST: Subject line corrected (was hooked onto a Deepsky thread) Dennis -- Typical head-up-xxx hardware guys. Is there a simple way to check at run time, when...
Hi, due to a shutdown of my mail server during a couple of days, my Yahoo account where [ASCOM-Talk] mailing list is associated was considered as 'bouncing'....
I did this, so don't anyone else do it (it amounted to 300K+ base-64 encoded) unless Otavi says my forwarded data is not udable or something. -- Bob...

Bob, Just had the chance to test out your DriverHelper (v1.1.10). This version appears to work as well as the version included in ASCOM platform v1.1. That...
Greg -- YEAH! Ok, this is it. I'm going to include this version in the 1.3 ASCOM Platform. So use the 1.1.10 helper DLL with ASCOM 1.2 until I release ASCOM ...
There are a few things missing from the Dome standard. 1. There should be a method to allow control of electrical circuits to turn equipment on and off. 2....
... I think these things should form another (new) ASCOM class - "Weather" or something like that... It's not related to the dome control itself. E.g. you...
... 1. I think control of electrical circuits is sufficiently speciallized that I can not image someone writing a script that could be used at an arbitary...
My few cents as a dome user: (1) 'Stow' is the common use for the position where the dome gets power to open and close the slit. 'Home' is another position...
I too agree that weather should be considered a separate class and that electrical circuits would will be specialized. Personally, I use the electrical...
... Yes. ... You can always use two variables in your code - one is the dome, and one is the weather. If weather gets bad, you close the dome using the other...
I disagree. If your observatory is remote controlled you want to know what the weather is BEFORE you open it up. It is part of the operation of a remote...
