Tim, I'm not sure how different the GPS scopes are, but I'm using the "Meade LX-200 and AutoStar" ASCOM driver to park and unpark my "classic". Does it not...

Normally I use ASCOM drivers to connect to my AP mount but yesterday I wanted to just use Sky6 directly connected to the mount. Before I started using ASCOM,...
I use FocusMax with an Optec TCF. When I hit the focus button I often find (in the log file) that focus failed because 'the new position < 0'. I try to start a...
Greg— The Optec focuser has a short range of travel., if you are using a focal reducer then it is even more restricted in terms of effective focus travel...

It doesn't appear that Poth is polling for tracking on/off from the scope driver. If tracking is toggled from the driver the tick box on Poth does not stay in...
I've shot down several nights now trying to solve this, with no luck. To put it simply, as soon as I connect to my LX200GPS 14 with the ASCOM driver and Dome...
Tim, I've also seen weird stuff happen with the Meade driver. It stores stuff in the registry that can get out of step with reality. In particular, the...
There was a proposed standard but until more Imaging Software vendors can agree to support it, it may not move forward. There is talk of a summit to get more...
