    Hi Robert:

    Do you have any idea when you'll incorporate TempComp and TempCompAvailable properties? The one thing missing in my focuser is to have internal temperature compensation running while under the control of SGP which uses autofocus. Before running autofocus, SGP will set TempComp to false, run the AF routine and then set TempComp back to true again. This would be immensely helpful for long exposures when temps are changing rapidly.

    Thanks for this great project.

    Tim

      Hi Tim
      :-)
      Its been there for quite a while now, in firmware. the PDF has a whole chapter on it with examples, and it is in both Windows App as well as ASCOM driver. If its not in the version you have please update.
      Regards
      Robert

    Outstanding! I am curently using an older version of Pro and have been wanting to build a Pro2 version. I was going by Appendix A of the manual where it states that the TempComp and TempCompAvailable properties are not yet implemented. I did read the chapter on temperature compensation but it was not clear that it could be enabled and disabled via ASCOM.

    Thanks again.

    Tim
