More ASCOM details
Gerhard Dangl Mar 7, 2007
Hi Bill,
yesterday I discovered a new bug in Guide8 connected over ASCOM driver to my
mount.
We know, if we use Guide we can get additional information on a object using
right mouse button. A click on next in context information window will make
an automatic jump to the next object close to the object before and so on.
If the ASCOM driver is loaded, Guide8 mostly does not jump to the next
object. But sometimes Guide jumpes to a second or third object but than it
"hangs" sure on an object and one has to select a new object manually. But
the hanging behaviour repeats again.
After ending Guide and "killing" the driver with task-manager, starting
Guide again without ASCOM, Guide works normal again.
Additional note:
If I start ASCOM driver with an other application like my auto-guiding
software Guidemaster first and start Guide8 as second application all works
well. Guide8 controls my mount well and a click on next in context
information window shows information on a next object. And Guide jumpes from
object to object as known. On the end of work closing Guidemaster will close
also ASCOM driver window. No matter if Guide is still running or not.
Hope this can help a little bit.
Regards
Gerhard
