Mine were my Focuser, my Gemini Controller, and SharpCap, that were or seemed problematic. If you find yourself with messed up ASCOM, try these little tidbits to unjam what Windoze done. Start over.) But ASCOM's writers know how to do an upgrade! Thumbs Up! ^) The Service Pack removes the old version, then installs Ver: 6.5 SP1 Nifty! (Requires a restart. It didn't fix things but, hey, I'm up to date there. So I spent some time shivering out in the cold trying to fix everything. My ASCOM is AS-SCREWED as it could be after Windoze did its recent downgrades.
I posted to friends on the Losmandy Users Group:įinally get a clear night after some real gully washer rains (1.3" here at my house), and wouldn't you just know. After updating or restoring my drivers things are working good again.īut not the first time some half-baked Windows update has given me a problem. I did recently have a fit of problems where a windows upgrade messed up 3 programs for me. ℹ️About GitHub Wiki SEE, a search engine enabler for GitHub WikisĪs GitHub blocks most GitHub Wikis from search engines.Although my mount is different, I do use Stellarium as my planetarium program, and PHD2 as my guiding program and together. The StellariumScope plug-in entry includes a link to the web site hosted by the plug-in author with installation and use guides. The Stellarium WIKI includes a current list of telescope control plug-ins: More importantly, this also allows PHD2 and other astronomy applications to share the connection to the mount.Īt the present time (Feb 2018), the StellariumScope plug-in isn’t distributed as part of the general release so it must be downloaded and installed separately. One of these, StellariumScope, lets Stellarium use an ASCOM mount connection for its telescope functions.
Fortunately, the plug-in interface is public and third-party developers can write their own plug-ins. Consequently, the Stellarium connection to the mount can’t be shared with other apps, and PHD2 can’t connect to the mount if the Stellarium TelescopeControl plug-in is being used. Regrettably, the plug-in doesn’t support pulse-guiding nor does it use ASCOM (or INDI) standards.
Stellarium includes a ‘TelescopeControl’ plug-in that supports slewing for a set of commonly used telescopes. It appears to be primarily focused on providing rich, realistic visualization tools for the night sky along with extensive catalogs of deep-sky objects. Stellarium is free, open-source planetarium that runs on a variety of platforms. As of Stellarium v0.19.3, the TelescopeControl plugin now supports ASCOM.
