AstroPlanner Beta Testers<br><b>Subject:</b> [APBeta] Current ASCOM
Support?<br><br></font></div>Hey all, <br>I've been changing up my
configuration lately and I'm trying to get POTH hub working with
AstroPlanner. I'm doing this because I have some issues with my BlueStar
connector when using AstroPlanner and I'm trying to see if connecting to ASCOM
rather than directly to the BlueStar would help to alleviate some of the
problems (I also realize that this will likely create some fun new problems
too!)<br><br>Anyways I know there were initially some ASCOM issues with AP and
I was trying to figure out if ASCOM is currently working and my setup is just
bad or what the deal is. Right now I have The scope simulator running
and I'm attempting to connect to it through the POTH but I keep getting a "No
response from telescope..." error. There doesn't seem to be a lot of
configuration under the "edit" option for the ASCOM driver in AP. I'm
guessing when I click the connect button that I should see the ASCOM telescope
box pop up and I can select whatever I want it to connect to...is this
normally the case? <br><br>Running on Win 7 64bit with the latest ASCOM
platform. Just grabbed AP 2.0b76.<br><br>Also is there any place to search
this list?<br><br>Thanks!<br>Jared<br>
