Has anyone controlled a SkySensor2000-PC using The SkyX?

Hi all,

I'm considering migrating from the Sky 6 PE to the SkyX PE later this year and wanted to confirm all the gear would work. Reading the 400+ page manual states that the SkyX can control a Vixen http controlled (read starbook) telescope, but there are no explicit instructions documented anywhere I have found describing how to control a SS2K-PC controlled version.

I've rasied a query on the Bisque forums - plenty of views but no answers yet. http://www.bisque.com/sc/forums/t/14865.aspx

The Bisque site states explicitly that all SS2K controllers can be managed by The SkyX - http://www.bisque.com/help/theskyx%2...al_add_ons.htm - but it does not state:

1. How - specifically which drivers to use (go native, ASCOM X2 or something else) and
2. Whether these drivers allow all telescope initialisation functions (set date, time, slew rates, park, high accuracy pointing modes etc) to be accessed

Does anyone know the answer to these two questions?

Many thanks,

Matthew
