I installed ASCOM. That got FMx and CCDSoft started w/o any fuss, save that
I had to update CCDSoft. We've had 30 days of bad weather, but Thursday
should be clear. Maybe even warm. That'll give me a chance to see how
CCDSoft plays with FMx and perhaps vice versa. Right now I don't see the
connection unless after 'training' FMx it makes some parameters known to
CCDSoft.


FM does all the work, there are no parameters passed to CCDSoft. FM just
uses CCDSoft as the engine for communicating with the camera. It will
command that images be made, analyze them, and adjust the focus. This is
totally independent of the focus function in CCDSoft.

Good. Thanks. I used FMx 3 years ago with another scope and it was a very
complicated install. From what I see so far, it looks llke they've improved
the user interface.
