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.<br>
<br>
So, I will install from the zipped file again.<br>

I am having frequent AP version 2.0b83 Beta crashes using ASCOM 5.5 platform with CCDASTRO, Inc. Takahashi Temma mount driver version v5.5.17 on Windows 7.
Is anyone using AP version 2 with Temma mount and if so would you please contact me at below email address? I do not want to send in a series of crash reports to Paul if either there is something wrong with my setup or if there is another driver that is working correctly.

It would not surprise me if it's an AP bug. ASCOM is pretty stable (AFAIK). Feel free to send in as many crash reports as you can. The more info on _exactly_ what you were doing at the time of the crash helps.

The observing script does take into account moonrise, correct? If so,
then it is not taking it into account when it does it's calculations??
Wow, no summer observing, that stinks!!!!

<pre wrap="">Paul, ran into some interesting behavior in the Observing Nights Script.
I ran it for July and noticed that the output was bascially the
same-Astronomical Twilight ending at 22:11 (acceptable for this time
of year), but ending at 04:55 for the next 3 nights and increasing by
1 minute for almost the next 12 nights. ?The moon rise at 00:40 on
Saturday morning.
Unless I am looking at this the wrong way (very possible), lol.

Me too. At this time of the year (around the longest day/shortest night) the time of sunset/sunrise remains fairly constant, and then changes more and more rapidly as fall approaches. 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).
