Parag: Well, I am not sure there is no benefit, but the benefit is not with the driver. I guess it could be possible for the application, such as APT, to somehow use this for its own purposes, in the

Wes, Thank you. So basically there is no benefit to be gained with multi-point alignment when using ASCOM. I'm just better of simply using plate solving to get to my targets. I agree, Plate Solving

Parag: There is no storage of alignment information when using ASCOM, as the driver does not modify pointing based on any model. When you do a plate solve, the exact position of the field of view is

Hello, I have a question on how the multi-point alignment transformation is stored. My setup includes iEXOS-100, POTH hub with ES driver selected and APT. I'm using just a plain Nikon D7200 with a

Hello, I have upgraded my ASCOM environment to 6.5SP1 and have started using Device Hub instead of POTH. Everything seems to work fine but I have an issue with window size of the application. In
