Doug, ... Okay. In the past, the ascom marketing alliance was able to persuade, direct and encourage volunteer programmers to write *telescope* drivers under...
Hi Matt, The "ASCOM marketing alliance". Would that be every company except Software Bisque???? Matt, leaving the camera standard aside for a moment, are you...
... That's a distorted view of history. The development of the first ASCOM telescope drivers was funded by Space.com (now Imaginova), and were released as ...
Doug, The reason I was compelled to reply to Jonathan Faye's comments is because he took a pot shot at Software Bisque with regards to ASCOM. We have nothing...
... Straightforward reasons: (1) Historically I first developed to the MaxIm API because it was available a few years before the CCDSoft API. (2) I haven't...
I have to say I have no shortage of problems with the Bisque position re:ASCOM. Whether it's shrill unsubstantiated charges against ASCOM's founders and...
... That part is between you and him. I was only responding to your second paragraph. ... The thing is, that really was never the intention; if it is true,...
On software bisque: -It is closed "technology". I use quotes to imply lack of both sophistication and oversight: many basic astronomy bugs glossed over and...
Everyone, This is a useful discussion, if perhaps a little heated at times. I'm not sure whether we can bridge the gap, but it's worth trying. Let's just be...
Ajai - Quick update: Beta 4 is working well so far for my set-up:) Reinstalled ASCOM Platform 4.1 and then RCX Driver V4.2.4.. Powered up scope, connected via...

Hello everyone! I have a 10" Meade LX200 (the older, non-GPS model) and Starry Night Pro on a laptop. I downloaded the Ascom platform and am having trouble ...
Here is the exact error message I get in Starry Night: The scope appears to be an unrecognized Meade scope type. Check the Ascom website for driver updates....
Steve and Matt, You guys called me about supporting DSLR drivers for CCDSoft. I did not want to support two different driver interfaces so I suggested wrting...
... The firmware in your LX200 Classic probably predates the 1995 version 3.34. The driver supports only 3.34 and 3.34L (for 8"/10") and 4.34/4.34L (12")....
Thanks Dan! Ajai _____ From: ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dan Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 5:54 PM To:...
Hi Ajai - Had a chance to run through one imaging routine before the clouds covered the sky. Launched POTH then connected no issues. Opened Starry Night 4.5...
Thanks Dan, I will investigate this. I am pretty sure that I saw the same thing when I was running remotely with our RCX in AZ. In the future if this...
Jonathan, Wow, this is hardly how I recall our discussion going. This is unadultrated BS Jonathan and you know it. You indicated you were making big bucks at...
Bob, Well, at least you admit your bias. And that is quite a twist of history. Our customers used CCDSoft in a scripted fashion, discovering super novae, in...
Dear "padraicj", I think we can argue we have the most open architecture in the industry. What other company offers more scriptible astronomical device control...
This thread should be ended. None of this is good for any customers. You all have great products (I use them all). This bickering is unconstructive and...
Make it stop, please!!! I joined this group to understand how to use ASCOM software better, and maybe someday to write some ASCOM software and make it freely...
Ajai, Yes, at the and of the day the software produced by the companies bickering here (me included) work together pretty well. I have strong urges to defend...
I agree with Joe and Ajai completely. I have been watching this thread unfold, getting sicker to my stomach as each post rolls in. In my opinion, ASCOM has...
Steve, ... I would say Maxim by a long shot. From experience, PEMPro can control many more types of cameras with Maxim than it can with CCDSoft. Also with the...
I'm a Customer – What do I want? a) I want the best astronomy functionality b) I want a strong market and competition between successful and profitable...
