Yes, installed Ascom 6 over Ascom 5 a few weeks ago with no dramas, all went smoothly.

However, using it with my telescope system is a different story.

There is a problem somewhere in the mix if running Windows7 32 bit, SkyX, X2 to Ascom converter, Ascom 6, and Maestro for Astrometric Skywalker telescope control systems for Losmandy mounts.


When a connection is attempted from SkyX to Maestro, SkyX stops responding and has to be killed. I have posted these issues on the Software Bisque forum, ASCOM yahoo group, and Skywalker yahoo group. Astrometrics and Bob Denny, who wrote the Ascom X2 software, are trying to fix it now.
In the meantime, everything still works OK with Sky6.
