I would LOVE to have the changes that have been permanent now for many months in the "beta" versions of AutoSlew and Sequence documented!!!!! Please!! ..... ASA please !! Tim

All the best!! Cheers, Tim

Hi Georg, You will need to very precisely balance the scope and accessories in all axes to have success. All the best, Tim

Well done Ron !

Hi Mark, Looks like your new setup is going to be excellent! All the best, Tim

Fantastic Images !!! Very well done !! Cheers, Tim

Yeah....but there is no input from the coder here. Perhaps I will email him directly ? Cheers, Tim

Hi All, including all the team at ASA, I operate my DDM mount remotely with complete automation. I have now used Autoslew for 2 years or so, and still I read the current manual with confusion regarding so many aspects of the software. I do use it successfully though most nights to do the basics. I haven't gone near the new "supermodel" stuff in the latest software as it is not yet documented and as I haven't had the time, and I am terrified of upsetting what is a reasonably stable situation with the mount that has been achieved finally. I use CCDAutoPillot to automate my imaging all night as Sequence didn't seem to have all the features I expected in an automation program, at the stage I setup 2 years ago. This means, with all night robotic automated remote imaging that the MLPT feature has not been available to me sadly....I would have loved to see MLPT integrated with the CCDAutoPilot software. I would accept paying a fair price for ongoing support/software, but I have to say the software documentation has to be improved. All the best, Tim

I really hope that all of you guys, the experienced ASA users, don't abandon this forum out of frustration.....then were would we all be?? I think we need each other to stay together on this forum and to keep checking in regularly to help each other. I really appreciate the assistance I have received from this forum. I also would appreciate it if ASA had more time devoted to this forum. I am sure ASA realises that their credibilty / reputation is their best asset after the good products. A product, no matter how good it is, has to have good ongoing support - and that includes delivering on software updates that are promised, but most importantly, providing excellent documentation and software manuals. I have had good support directly from ASA, when I have needed it. I am sure ASA really means well and has the customer at the center of their plans going forward. Thanks, Tim

Very nice!

Thanks Lucas!

NEAF has been and gone......did anyone go to NEAF to hear the ASA announcement?? I am hoping a well documented manual will accompany the software changes......has anyone seen any documentation?? Thanks, Tim

Hmmm....maybe no one knows......???

Hi, I have my scope's fans connected to the ASA mount DDM85's fan controller facility. I can switch my fans on and off by using the slider control on the Autoslew software. Is there a way to switch the Fan control slider on and off using visual basic scripting?? I have scripts to park the mount etc, but is there a way to use script for the fan control slider?? I currently find that to slide the slider half way across gives a good fan speed on my scope. Thanks and regards, Tim

You have captured it very well Mark !! Cheers, Tim
