Don't think so, Beaudreaux. If so, how come my copy of ASCOM 5 has Sky

'em...hmmm...? LOL

I'm afraid it's the other way around.  Older versions of ASCOM had several
drivers, including SC, included automatically.  This changed with ASCOM v5.

The ASCOM Platform does not include the drivers themselves..."
