[APBeta] POTH

[Bob]

POTH will allow the ASCOM interface to control a scope via more than one
program. Last time I tried POTH with AP it did not work but that was about
10 or so releases ago. ASCOM and AP worked well but could not get POTH to
lock in. I should give it another go. What you do is to set the telescope
interface in each program to POTH under ASCOM. Then configure POTH to
whatever scope base interface you need. Push the Connect button on the POTH
panel then push the Connect button under the Telescope panel for each
application. And you should be off the races.  

Ok, just tried it with Meade interface and AP connected but crashed when I
selected an object.

I am anxious to connect both MaxIM DL and Astroplanner to my scope.....
MaxIM DL advises that the pgm "POTH" can accomplish this.
 
Does anyone on list have any expierence at all doing something similiar or
using PLOTH with Astroplanner.
 
Thank you & ad Astra
