That`s exactly my case....but never works..even coming from scratch...Cloudwacther simply don´t communicate with Sequence and into Sequence screen... a new tab appears: "SafeMon: OK" but in grey..as not really active. Also, into the Sequence View log : " Could not find Safety Monitor ASCOM .AAGWare.SafetyMonitor"

Yes..it works perfectly at COM8 when I start it alone...and starts reading...

You´re working great, Lukas. I installed your "setup" and Sequencer was capable of recognizing AAGCloudwatcher... (I use COM8 to connect my AAGCloudwatcher to PC) ..and into ASCOM diagnostics COM8 is recognized... When I click in the "connect" key of Sequencer to connect AAGCloudwatcher..it launchs the AAGCloudwatcher programm and open it... but not working properly. Not communication.. It´s a great step as now it recognize and open the programm...now I just can´t communicate via Sequencer with AAGCloudwatcher.. I used ASCOM diagnostics tools... BTW I used ASCOM 6.1 also.. Thanks Lukas ¡ .

Hi Lukas.. I´m updating all with Windows update..but i´m afraid I have NET 4.01 and not working yet. So... I will try again and if not... let´s wait to the excellent support of Antonio Peres (AAGWare).. I had the opportunity to meet him in an Astrophotographers Spain/Portugal ) meeting in Madrid ( year 2008) and had a nice conversation with him. Great person and an excellent engineer working for free in most cases. (PD: I updated NET again and don´t..definitively I have the same error. Using W7 Ultimate Thanks for these good news.¡ Antonio

Well.. Really now I can choose now the ASCOM driver but I receive this message: "Incompatible driver. Can not find the executable driver mscoree.dll"... Any help?.. Thanks¡

I will test right now, Lukas. I requested Philipp a Weather module for Sequence and he uploaded a new Sequencer with this option. But my mistake was to told him AAGCloudwatcher was ASCOM ( it´s not, evidently..) I´m also using Cloudwatcher..so... :-) .. time to test¡.. Thanks, Lukas¡¡

Hi Kazuo... Many of us had also this idea..: be able to run MLPT from / into some robotic-automation programms such as ACP, CCDAUtoPilot, CCDCommander... and so on. Latest Beta version of Sequence ( in beta testing phase ) is able to run automatically MLPT both sides of meridian at a programmed time or when the target change form one meridian side to another..(in conjuction with Autoslew also)..., but not from ACP, CCDAutoPilot or CCDCommander.... This new pair (Sequence Beta+ Autoslew ) works independiently. It`s a GREAT software but with some problems for robotic observatories..as it´s don´t contemplate a meteorological device for clouds or rain ( as AAGCloudwatcher or similar) ... So I just can use it when I am behind the laptop ..as I have to be pending remotely of clouds/weather and can´t go to sleep.. ;-) A friend of mine, here in Spain is working in a plateboard for robotic observatories capable of park mounts as DDM , Gemini, etc (all ASCOM capable) ...and close domes /roll off roofs independiently of any Automation programm or in conjuction with Sequence Beta/Autoslew..... A complete solution with "panic" security parking mount and closing observatories even if Internet communication lost, PC crashed, clouds/rain, etc.... it´s working right now in a robotic observatory in beta phase perfectly. Minr will be next in some weeks.. So, I will be capable of work with Beta Sequence and sleep all night long without PC crashes, clouds or any other problems as I will be sure mount will be ALWAYS parked and roof closed.. Clear skies,

Nice one¡.. Congrats¡¡ Antonio

A field with the SBc galaxy NGC 3642 and it´s heavily disturbed external arm..and the elliptical galaxy NGC 3610 ... showing shells all around and some details ..not just the ellipse form. . The bottom is plenty of little galaxy points... Bigger image resolution at: http://afesan.es/Deepspace/slides/NGC%203642-3610%20LRGB%20%28Ursa%20Major%29.html Clear skies ¡ Antonio

Very nice¡. These are my favourite targets. Congratulations, Thomas..

This is last image taken along January...For Spain astrophotographical average..(last years) a very bad January month.. More details on my website: http://afesan.es/Deepspace/slides/Vdb%2075%2CDG%2099%2CIC%20444%20%28Gemini%29.html Clear skies,¡

Great ¡¡¡

Very nice, Pavel..¡

Thank you Matts, Yes..I was also a bit surprised ( although I could detect first signs of deep colour with my first subframes....) Sometimes targets surprises even to us....:-) Happy 2014 ¡ Antonio

Changes are visible. Congrats for the new image¡. Nice one ¡ Antonio

Thanks Pavel,. Well....for the particular design of the roll roof observatory and my particular imaging skill, I do not like to image targets below 40-45 degrees ,it is a personal point of view.Orion and some Monoceros targets are my limit.Comparing to northern guys I am very fortunate, moreover thinking in weather and climate into Europe.Best regards and Happy 2014!

This is an extremely rare imaged target (and I don´t understand why)..asi I just know one image from another astrophotographer..... and this the second one. It supposed a personal challenge as even at 44 degrees high it´s a little bit low for my observatory particular conditions in South direction. Weather does not cooperate also in the last 2 months... A more resolution image (2300x1700) and details can be linked here: http://afesan.es/Deepspace/slides/B35%2CGN%2005.42.06%2CLDN%201596%2C%20V%20FU%20Ori.html Happy New Year 2014 to all astrophotographers¡ Antonio

Wow¡¡ Great image¡..soft and with a fantastic candy colour at galaxy :-). Very nice¡ Antonio

WIth the imaging conditions described the image is much more meritory. Very nice colours and details, even at 4-6 px FWHM. Inverted version permits appreciate delicate details into the colour one. Nice job, Thomas. Congratulations. Antonio

Very nice... B&W keeps always a point of magic... Antonio

Thanks, Thomas¡.. I look for those rarely targets..Next coming up in a next future.. Merry Xmas¡

Sure Matts¡.. I love this type of targets,together with the LDN`s and Barnards¡-- My next targets will be also an vdB and a Barnard,,, BTW: Merry Xmas ¡ Antonio
