[APBeta] APBeta Digest, Vol 27, Issue 5

[Ron Ridge]

Paul, desiring to make sure that my install of ASCOM platform and its 
5.5.1 update, the Takahashi driver and AP 2.0b83 is correct, I went back 
to the various sites and downloaded latest versions.  I have been on AP 
2.0b83 since July 1 (three days) and when I downloaded on that date I 
had to download the zipped version as the non-zipped installer file 
yielded 2.0b82 on that date.  So I went back there today and found that 
the non-zipped installer still yields 2.0b82.

So, I will install from the zipped file again.

However, there do seem to be some anomalies, particularly if the specified latest-observing-time occurs before the start of the dark period (which it might do for higher latitude at midsummer). e.g. Here in Seattle (47 deg), astronomical twilight ends after midnight (making astronomy well nigh impossible during summer, and it rains for the rest of the year).
