Malcolm the only credible use I can think of for ASCOM (or similar) is the ability to tweak individual channels without making the panel on the controller more complex. Overall I like having the controller sitting there doing it's thing without the need for me to bother with it once it's turned on.

If you got really keen maybe the ability to use the temp sensor already on the scope to tweak focus as temperature changed but from the little I saw of that I suspect that it might create more problems than it solved.

I've also thought about logging humidity and temperature during a session but suspect that I wouldn't bother looking at the results so have not done anything about that.
