Post by Forum_2016 »

Dear friends

Hello Stefan,
the 10 micron is controlled by the ASCOM platform, so what can be done depends by its ASCOM driver. I think that the script command "Telescope.Park" would work correctly, try it and see what it does. Maybe there is an option for power off after park.
About complete power off, I know that some users use a power strip USB/SerialPort controlled, which is controlled by the SerialPort script commands.
