Meade LPI-GM and LPI-GM Advanced.
(1) I've tested my 2018 vintage LPI-GM with the latest (March 2022) Meade ASCOM drivers; this camera uses the same sensor as an ASI120MM and is similar in size and physical configuration to the ASI120MM Mini. (2) I've also tested my new LPI-GM Advanced with the latest (March 2022) Meade ASCOM driver...

M3 automatic acquisition via scripting
M3 from last night. The 2nd target on my target list after M81. This image was the result of the script that I just posted in the script forum. The script directed the mount to goto M3, then plate solved a 10 second image, synced the mount to the solved image coordinates, then did another goto to M3...

Re: script for automatic goto, platesolve, sync, centre, and FF autoguide
Here's a modified version of the above script, but with Full Frame autoguiding added in: n = Telescope.List.Count for i = 1 to n ra = Telescope.List.Ra(i) de = Telescope.List.Dec(i) name = Telescope.List.Name(i) Telescope.Goto(ra,de) Telescope.Wait Pause(1) Camera.Start(10) Camera.Wait Image.FindCoo...

Re: Multiple simultaneous instances
Are you trying to run imaging hardware at the same time?
I just ran two simultaneous 64bit instances where each was running a very large preprocessing drizzle stack on an I7 computer with 32gigs of RAM and it ran fine.

Here's an updated image that's been drizzle stacked, with 3 more 1200sec images. Same processing as above but with 50 x ME deconvolution iterations:

AllCometEls.txt vs CometEls.txt
I guess the Minor planet Center must have renamed the comets file at some point. Anyways I have to remove the 'All' from the AllCometEls.txt file to get AA8 to read it.
