As far as I know, satellite prediction is not supported in version 3. You'll need to use the older v. 2.76 for that function. I think Patrick is trying to...
Hello Group, does anyone know what I would need to have the Sky Commander interface with SkyChart. I have the DSC and SkyChart and I can make my own cable. I...
You'll need the ASCOM "platform" at <http://ascom-standards.org/index.htm> and you'll also need the ASCOM driver for the SkyCommander from the same site. Well...
Negative. You don't have to install a separate SC driver anymore...it's included with the v5 package. Just "configure," and choose Sky Commander from the...
I'm afraid it's the other way around. Older versions of ASCOM had several drivers, including SC, included automatically. This changed with ASCOM v5. From...

Hi, Been searching around this group for an answer, and only seen messages from long ago. I can download FITS images of the sky using the "Get DSS Image" menu ...
Charles, you could go to http://www.ap-i.net and log an enhancement request for this useful feature. It would indeed be nice if CdC kept downloaded DSS images...
