Checking currentness for ASCOM implementation #3

Hi,

I've been having a few problems getting this running, mainly due to my incompetence with setting up the environment and dependancies, but was just wanting to check whether this was still the latest version of the code as seen in your testing video on Youtube (I'm trying to get a SkyWatcher ASCOM mount working). Also should this run OK on Python 3.x or would you expect any issues with that? Thanks.

Looks like the issue was with my mount/ASCOM driver (although I did have to tweak an OpenCV line slightly to get things working. Using a Skywatcher Heritage AltAz mount has had problems because it doesn't accept a SlewToAlzAz until you have done a SlewToCoordinates first, after which it seems to work fine. Very strange. Thanks for the software, haven't tracked something successfully yet but am getting closer!
