Poor Seeing
Posted
Hi,

The only post I could find about Auto Parking/Shutdown following a power outage was last June (http://ccdware.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1141040351/m/9191094432?r=9191094432#9191094432).

I'm interested if any progress has been made to incorporate such a feature?

I'm particularly interested in the idea of a small command line utility which could be actioned by my UPS software which would instruct CCCAP to stop operations and Park the mount. Others may need further commands such as dome closure etc.

I suspect if it was possible to have a command line file interact with CCDAP, it could be made to action ANY CCDAP functions that the user selected.

My particular reason is that I'm in a hosted observatory and the mount needs to Park to enable closure of the dome.

Hi Paul,

I am looking into providing such a facility for version 4. Before you ask <g>, my development target is the first half of 2008.
