Without first having a good look at how and what ASCOM does Mike
I think you might waste a lot of unnecessary energy.
FWIW.

I was being a little facetious in my comment.......I'd taken a read of the ASCOM site info. The point that I was trying to make was that despite all the drivers and such written for ASCOM, I haven't yet seen an ASCOM-derived integrated obs controller unit for sale, at least at a price most of us can afford

If there are interested members who would like to advise the group into how to better use ASCOM, their inputs would be most appreciated, just don't expect too many suggestions from me, as I don't have the knowledge

I would love to see someone offer to do the ASCOM 'glueing', but it's beyond my capabilities. That's the reason for this thread.
