I am using AA9 SP1. I set up my telescope (CGX-L mount + ASCOM Celestron Telescope Driver ) and dome (Sirius 2.3M + MaxdomeII) in ASCOM Device Hub (DH).
I do not connect the mount or dome in DH, instead choosing to use AA to control all my devices.
Unlike telescope control where the user can park the scope, set tracking on or off, and find home directly from the AA Telescope Control setup tab, there is no similar way to set dome slaving on or off, to park the dome or to send the dome to home.
It appears that all this must be done by either opening and using DH (although I noted a possible incongruence where it was possible to select dome slaving while the telescope is not tracking), or using the available Dome scripts (nice to have but not efficient nor consistent).
Might the dome slave, park and homing controls be made available via for example the AA Dome Setup/"Monitor" window in a similar fashion to the telescope as noted above - in a future update?
Regards,
Patrick
