Means that DEC guiding pulses could be missed if they are too short. The Guider ST-4 port relies on an interrupt for the RA signal, but a timer for the DEC signal. The Autoguider program can tell the mount how much to move, instead of sending fixed guide pulses via the ST-4 port.The guiding is synchronous (two-way): Gemini-2 will acknowledge the guiding commands, something that is not possible when using the Guider ST-4 port.Guiding through the ASCOM Gemini-2 Driver provides many advantages:.

You can use other ASCOM drivers to control focusers, cameras, observatory, etc., and the ASCOM Driver to control the mount at the same time.The ASCOM Driver allows multiple clients connected to the telescope at the same time.When a UDP Ethernet connection is used, the speed is extremely fast (faster that a USB connection) while minimizing the load on the computer.You can guide and control the mount using the same Ethernet cable.

You can control the mount via a Serial Cable, a USB connection or Ethernet (Preferred).

This enables them to concentrate on one implementation that works across various equipment brands, andĪvoids the cost of developing, testing, and supporting separate custom interfaces.

Moreover, most astronomical software from small companies or independent developers use ASCOM to control astronomical equipment.

If you need to share the connection to Gemini across two or more software packages, ASCOM is the only game in town today.

The ASCOM Driver is a convenience and, in many cases, Many software packages support this ASCOM interface allowig you to try and use many of them.

ASCOM Driver implements a standard ASCOM interface to contol telescope mounts.
