Jeff, Thanks. I have my script successfully autoguiding on a star now using Maxim. However, I have a recurring problem that is mentioned in the Maxim manual...
Let's say I have Maxim v3 connected to TheSky controlled telescope through the telescope frame. All is working fine - I can center objects, etc. Now can I...
John -- ... While MaxIm has control of the telescope, you cannot also control it through its driver, since MaxIm owns the instnace of the driver object that is...
Thanks for the response, Bob. ACP2 sounds good but I don't think the Astro-wife will tolerate any more software expense for a while <g> Thanks for the info on...
... But if you do *not* connect the telescope through Maxim (i.e., do not press the "connect" button), then you can instantiate the driver from the script and...
Aha! Thanks, Jeff. That was the key I was looking for. Pretty good answering the unasked question <g> Now all we need to do is lose the clouds. John ...
John & Jeff -- First, thanks to Jeff for providing a useful answer to John. Second, John (and the rest of the members of this list) I apologize for promoting...
I am trying to write a ASCOM driver for a LX200-style focuser. I have included all the required items listed in the focuser standard, and wrote the driver by ...
Please check this out if I have it right. I want to park a telescope that is connected to and controller by TheSky, without using Orchestrate. Would this do...
John -- That should do it. Within the ASCOM driver, that command is simply translated to the RASCOM.RASCOMTele.1.Park() method exposed by TheSky. To test this...
I didn't realize that Bob. Does that mean that Orchestrate, or more specifically RASCOM.DLL is required? I was trying to help out a friend park his AP 1200...
Well, you don't need TheSky or Orchestreate or RASCOM.DLL at all :-) Using the ASCOM Platform 1.3 (see http://ASCOM-Standards.org for free download), and you...
Thanks (again!) Bob. That makes it completely clear to me. I don't know about jock - maybe little leaguer <g> but I appreciate the encouragement. I really...
I have designed and built a temperature- and computer-controlled focuser based upon a STAMP "Computer on a chip" module ($50.00) and an old floppy drive...

Does anyone know if ASCOM 1.3 supports the Astro-Physics 600E Goto using the Astro-Physics GTO mounts driver? Thanks Steve ... From: Bob Denny...
Hi - I just noted that MAXIM 3.X has a "full calibrate" selection under the camera setup tab. Does this mean that images taken via VBS through ACP2 can be...
... Yes, although using a script you would have to call CCDImage.Calibrate. The calibration frames must first be set up using either the user interface or the...
So, there still must be a call to MAXIM in the VBS script? I can't just set it in MAXIM itself and have on-the-fly calibration as images are taken with the...
... No, aside from the main camera setup, the user interface settings are ignored. It's trivial to modify the script to add that one line. Doug ... Doug George...
ASCOM DOME/ROOF STANDARD: Version: Proposed Standard Scope: This standard does not specify whether the "dome" object references a roll-off roof, a dome...
[just a note - product specific questions are probably better posted on the product support lists, MaxIm or ACP2, in this case probably the ACP2 one woudlhave...
Hello, In previous versions I usually could connect my browser using the local host. In the last ACP2 versions I can't connect my browser locally with this IP...
Sorry for the repeat, but I am no further along with this problem despite making my head bloody banging it against things! I am trying to write a ASCOM driver...
