ASCOM - Standards for Astronomy ASCOM stands for Astronomy Common Object Model Primarily a set of simple elegant API specifications for astronomical devces and applications Eliminates barriers to both device and app developers who would otherwise need to provide special logic for every combination of device and app Eases the pain of troubleshooting by clearly dividing application and device with a universal interface ASCOM
Download Center - ASCOM - Standards As of August 2022, we no longer host drivers here Drivers formerly hosted here have been moved to the Download Center This page lists items that the ASCOM Initiative has made available for download The ASCOM Platform is required for most of the drivers and other components It contains a set of common interfaces, engines, and tools that are used to support most ASCOM drivers and other
Documentation Center - ASCOM This section contains downloadable documentation for ASCOM, both Alpaca and COM, as well as conceptual documents that cover both These documents cover ASCOM theory, ASCOM-COM, and ASCOM Alpaca in more depth than the here on this web site End Users and Developers, if you are starting from scratch it is recommended that you first read through the so that you have a basic understanding of the
Telescope Mount Drivers - ASCOM - Standards FEATURED AlpacaScope - SkyFi to Alpaca Gateway (cross-platform) This is a cross-platform program (Linux, Mac, and PC) that emulates Simulation Curriculum's SkyFi device to allow their SkySafari Plus and SkySafari Pro Apps to use Alpaca to talk to any ASCOM compatible telescope plugged into a Windows PC (by way of ASCOM Remote) No physical SkyFi needed Of course AlpacaScope provides direct
1. About ASCOM and Alpaca ASCOM COM is the classic ASCOM which uses the COM service on Windows to provide communication between apps and devices ASCOM Alpaca is the newer ASCOM which uses network communication between apps and devices Alpaca works on Linux, MacOS, Windows, and even on embedded controllers ASCOM COM is limited to Windows
Applications - Getting Started - ASCOM Recommended for Windows COM ASCOM: C# NET The ASCOM Client Toolkit is an assembly that greatly simplifies using drivers from NET applications Astronomy app developers wishing to use ASCOM drivers from NET applications on Windows are encouraged to use this library, as it provides not only simplified access to drivers, but also automatic switching between the preferred early-binding
Motivation for ASCOM Perhaps this will help you understand why universal standard interfaces became the norm in computers as well as virtually every other modular ecosystem back in the early 1980s, almost forty years ago ASCOM brought a standardized ecosystem to astronomy in 1998 Now you can start to learn about the environment and design elements of ASCOM Continue to 1 Overview of ASCOM
Frequently Asked Questions - ASCOM Where can I learn about ASCOM Alpaca vs Classic ASCOM COM? See the About ASCOM section This is a highly recommended first step How does the ASCOM Model Compare with INDIGO, and Software Bisque X2 ASCOM (both COM and Alpaca) is a many-to-many universal interfacing system with no dependence on any software or central server Alpaca is cross-platform, COM is Windows-only Both INDIGO and TheSky
