It seems odd that POTH would be 'limited' given the number of dials and
knobs it has. I've used to to guide with PHD and control with CdC at the
same time without any isssues. This wasn't with a Meade scope though.
Now EQMOD supports multiple clients and I don't need POTH anymore.
Perhaps time to convince the Meade ASCOM developer to make it multi
client capable.
Specific ASCOM questions are best directed to the ASCOM Y! group and I'm
sure Meade fans can help as well. This isn't really a CdC issue.
