To All, Has anyone used CdC to control an equatorially mounted Cassegrain powered by Animatics SmartMotors via ASCOM drivers? Amateur Astronomers, Inc....
Hi Ray, sounds like you have quite a project on your hands :) I recommend you try to develop an ASCOM interface for your scope so you are not bound to just...
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone out there who is successfully connecting to their scopes using CdC ASCOM drivers through a BT device. Specifically, which...
... Hi Steve, I control my Nexstar 11 GPS using the AIRcable Serial 3, CDC 3X and ASCOM. This setup works flawlessly for me even when I use ASCOM's POTH and...
... Those are Open Clusters. Cr = Collinder Mel = Melotte They are usually associated with a number. For example Cr 399 is the Coat Hanger cluster. Hope that...
Yep, it's been a whole year again and time for the annual update to the PGC/LEDA galaxy catalog for CDC. This year we have a whopping 1,708,809 galaxies in the...
Hi Jeff: The CDC Catalog/Add function does not recognize a file unlesss the catalog folder has a .hdr file. The installed pgc folders do not contain a .hdr...
... Meade uses the term "Smart Drive" for PEC, and "Smart Mount Technology" for their T-point type multi-star alignment (it compensates pointing for flex...
... Yes, I think ASCOM basically assumes that the scope already has its own computer for basic pointing (and aligning), and ASCOM is for when you want to...
Edward, As I said, I also use the Aircable Serial3 and have no problems with non-ASCOM drivers. I'm using CdC v2.76c. I connect to my scopes using an adapter...
Steve, I am using Aircable BTserial (older models) with ASCOM and CdC. One of the things I found out that Microsofts standard BT stack is weak with the...
Bob, Thanks. My laptop is a Dell Vista machine. Will double check to ensure I have latest BT driver. I'll have to check, but I don't think my ACS3 is...
There's an upgrade to the ASCOM serial drivers that may help. It's called HelperNET and is available from the files area of the Ascom-Talk group. This...
Steve, The automatic updater from Dell missed the driver update. I googled around Dell site with the BT card type found in my laptop and found an updated...
Bob, It seems the AirCable you have behaves differently from mine. I have no problem reconnecting tomy scopes via BT without ever having to re-enter a PIN on...
Downloaded and installed the Helper.NET program. It ran with no problems. Restarted computer just to play it safe. Double checked to ensure BT was working by...
Strange indeed. What version of CdC are you running? At times the V3 telescope control has be broken. I just tried on 2,76 and 3.1 and connected right up. Also...

No. I thought a null modem switched a couple of channels like those associated with the transmit/receive pins of my DB9. Since the cable I have successfully...
Correct, The null modem is for connecting DCE to DCE or DTE to DTE. You have already established that you have DCE to DTE with successful communication by...
Dear All, I just joined this list as I started to use CdC3.0 just today. I am mainly an amateur astronomer which likes to take pretty pictures, and I'm under...
How does one go about getting the redicule to follow the chart when the chart updates? I know about the track scope option, but is there a similar option when...
