ASCOM Documentation For users that have a preferred control interface, like Maxim DL, for their camera operations, FLI offers the ASCOM driver, which will allow many of the common interfacing programs to communicate with FLI cameras. The ASCOM Driver is a convenience and, in many cases, a requirement. If you need to share the connection to Gemini across two or more software packages, ASCOM is the only game in town today. Moreover, nearly all astronomical software from small companies or independent developers only use ASCOM to control astronomical equipment.
