ASCOM-Talk · ASCOM Initiative Discussion List 
Description: The ASCOM Initiative, and this list, is established for the following purposes: 1. Establish a set of standards for scriptable/programmable low level control of astronomical instruments and related devices, and promote the use of these standard "drivers" from astronomy- related software applications. 2. Provide a freely available set of instrument drivers that implement the standards established in (1). These components must be usable apart from any particular application and directly from Windows Active Script languages and Automation based tools. 3. Promote (but not absolutely require) open-source implementations of the components in (2) 4. Promote scriptability of astronomy-related software without standardizing application level interfaces (which would inhibit innovation).
