Hello --

Thank you for posting here. On the surface, your systems are compatible, including the SX adaptive optics which MaxIm DL controls nicely.

My concern is with your dome controller. Although it works with TheSky X via ASCOM, this is not a guarantee that it is truly ASCOM conforming. If it will pass the ASCOM conformance tester! then it will probably be OK.

Also, the Gemini control system has been problematic in automated operation unless it is configured very precisely as to its many options for manual operations. The Gemini Driver group on Yahoo is a good source of info for this.
