Hi Folks I'm after advise on the following problem. I've bought a new laptop computer and I was hoping to use it to drive both my SBIG ST5 camera and my Mel...
You could use Maxim to manage the camera. It has an ASCOM telescope interface, so you should be able to have both it and CdC connected to the scope at the same...
Hi Tim, You may be aware that the bartels Stepper software supports the LX200 protocol with extensions for focuser. So set you Scope.exe program to LX200 on...
... Our MaxIm DL/CCD software can do this. See http://www.cyanogen.com You can hook up both MaxIm DL/CCD and Cartes de Ciel to the telescope at the same time,...
Hi Tim, I was under the impression, that Mel's stepper system really needs a dedicated cpu to drive the stepping. Any interrups may play havic with the...
CCDWare Publishing is proud to announce the public beta of PEMPro Version 1.5 by Ray Gralak. PEMPro 1.5 adds many new exciting capabilities to the previous...
Tim I do believe you are correct it that. I have been using Mel's system for years and it only works well for me in a pure DOS environment, I have never been...
Hi Tim, I have been useing Mel's stepper system for a few years now and I agree that it is best to keep the scope control on a PC of its own. It has timing...
Hi I got the following error when I try to use the "SlewToAltAz" method "Wrong tracking state" My code is written in VBscript and I test it with the Scope...
Rick, Yes, I believe we may have a functional driver. I am waiting on more testing results to be sure. I can confirm that the driver works on my test scope...
Hello, I´m writing the code for a uController system that control´s a lot of homemade stuff on my telescope. I´ve added the following hardware : Focusser...
... Thanks Peter, yes I have already downloaded ASCOM v4.1. I'm looking forward testing your beta driver. I am currently using skytools2. I am looking forward...
Rick, I have sent you several emails and I have not heard a reply yet. Please reply to the private emails, so we do not clutter this group with details of...
The state diagram you found is something I produced as a discussion document during the development of the Telescope V2 standard. I was attempting to clarify...
... So, here, I'll offer the thought of looking at workflow patterns, specifically petri-nets. A petri-net can model the park/track/slew variations, and give...
Thanks. Your valuable answer helped me a lot because I thought that the state diagram is perfect and reliable. But what should I do? My scope is a 10"...
I'm familair with the application of petri-nets in fault tolerant system. They can compactly model large Markov diagrams. State diagram of telescope states is...
... The specification says that slews in Ra and Dec are only allowed when tracking is on and slews to an AltAz position when tracking is off. The simulator...
... Well, if you believe that the park/track/slew states can be easily stated via deterministic modeling, then no need for petri nets. To me, the 3 states...
Ok. You are right . For complex state diagrams, petri-nets are suitable choices. ... Well, if you believe that the park/track/slew states can be easily stated ...
MoveAxis method seems to be a little hard to use. I don't know how to use the"Rate" object and "AxisRate" properties. May you please tell me how to use them? ...

It would appear that the new generic LX200 driver has caused some issues with some Generic LX200 like devices. I have quite a few users using guiding...
Hello, I'am working on a driver for my MCMT system (the interface wich managed my telescope, a system quite popular in France). The beginning is difficult. I'm...
