Stellarium

New Ascoms Feature Request

Asked by Ian Matterson

Hi everyone,
 love the program and its features, but would respectfully like to request a new plugin for Ascom based dome RA control,
 i have a observatory that is automated using the lesvedome driver found here :-
 http://www.dppobservatory.net/DomeAutomation/DomeDriver.php
 It would be great if one of the team here could intergrate this to allow dome RA slaving with Stellarium.
 Its a big ask and i really would appreciate any help or input to get this done.
 Many thanks
 Ian

p.s sorry if this is the wrong place to request a new feature, but all my navigations seemed to bring me to the report a bug page.

ASCOM support is already being developed for the next major version of Stellarium's Telescope Control plug-in.

Meanwhile, if you only need to slew the telescope and have the dome move with it it, you can use StellariumScope with some of the ASCOM hubs. There are two hubs that come by default with the ASCOM platform, POTH and ASCOM Dome Control.

StellariumScope is a third-party application. Here's its website:
