[APBeta] APv2b66 working great for me

[Bruce Pipes]

Paul,

At least for the things I want AP to do (i.e. creating imaging plans,  
downloading DSS images, finding guide stars, slewing and syncing my  
scope, focusing the scope, etc) v2b66 works very well. You have put  
stuff in I didn't realize I needed.

There are a couple of inconsequential things I have noticed. I have  
gotten very occasional crashes that produce the attached error log. It  
has only happened when I am connecting to the scope and a restart  
fixes it.

Also (and this is a weird one I have mentioned before and truly do not  
understand) I get some odd behavior when I use AP to control my  
telescope while I am connected to a wireless router. On an initial  
startup it boots more slowly than normal, and I am pretty sure I have  
observed a slowdown in its functioning.

Here is what I did: One night I was connected to a wireless router and  
I noticed that, when I switched from my imaging program (Equinox  
Image) to AP, I would get the Mac beachball of death. However, after  
the beachball spun for a while, the cursor reappeared and AP  
functioned normally. I think the beachball appeared mostly when I  
switched to AP and tried to change tabs (e.g. from Sky to FoV) or when  
I tried to pull down the Telescope Control Palette. The next night I  
did all the things I did the night before, but I turned off my  
wireless connection before I started. I never saw the beachball, and  
AP was reasonably fast.

I gather no one else has seen this, so it may be something funky about  
my computer.

Anyway, I am real happy with APv2.
