Connecting to an ASCOM Alpaca device from PHD2

[Rick Burke]

PHD2 does not use the ASCOM Chooser to select either telescope or camera drivers, instead it apparently reads the ASCOM Profile store in the Windows Registry to get a list of installed drivers and intersperses them with native drivers.

This solution does not scale to support ASCOM Alpaca devices. Does PHD2 implement code that uses the dynamic Alpaca Discovery protocol to add Alpaca devices to the lists of scopes and cameras?

If not, I would suggest providing a way for users to invoke the ASCOM Chooser to support Alpaca.

Thanks,

Hi Rick

i just tried my Ascom Remote Client and it shows up in PHD

However, it seems this may be deprecated in ascom platform 6.5

Alpaca does not use the chooser.
