<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>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.<SPAN

interface and AP connected but crashed when I selected an object. <SPAN
