Hi,

I'm curious why CdC 3 still has the current ascom/telescope interface. 
It doesn't work nearly as well as the one for 2.76, in my opinion. Maybe 
I'm missing something. In CdC 3.0 you pick telescope->connect which 
shows the ascom dialog and immediately tries to connect. If it can't 
connect (because you switched scopes for example) the dialog disappears 
right away. You have to move the CdC main window out of the way 
(minimizing doesn't do it) to see the ascom interface again so you can 
pick the correct driver.

The 2.76 interface has direct menu access to show the ascom dialog. Much 
much better. I logged 293 for this and I think I brought it up before 
but I'm not sure. Just curious what others think of this.

As an aside, CdC 3.0, 9/30 snapshot was crashing on loading the EQMOD 
simulator driver. Perhaps because I missed an ocx. With the 1.3 
ascom.tid this crash went away but I had to install 2.76c and then copy 
ascom.tid to the plugins directory to get it. Maybe a good idea to 
include the 1.3 ascom.tid in the next snapshot?

Thanks,

    Sander
