    First the question - Does CCDOps support the Starlight Instruments Focuser Boss II ? They say that it will work with any ASCOM compliant software.
    Next the request for enhancement - In the calibration function can CCDOps be programmed to allow the user to select which star to use for the calibration ? Many of the other functions in CCDOps already do this. I have found that the calibration function often gets lost and confused when trying to do a calibration in an area where there are multiple stars, especially when there are several of about the same magnitude. Allowing the user to pick could save a lot of frustration.
    Thanks

    CCDOPS does not support any equipment other than SBIG ST series cameras and their filter wheels. It does not control focusers, telescopes, domes, or any other hardware.

    We are not planning any future improvements to CCDOPS, other than any basic maintenance required to keep it working.

    MaxIm DL Pro has full ASCOM equipment support.
