Re: LX200 control
I havent tried 3.5.2, but Elwood sent me a pre-release of the lx200xed of 3.5.2 and that worked fine for me. Make sure you compile lx200xed from 3.5.2 and use that. Previous versions indeed dont work.

Re: Xephem compiled for Cygwin
Oh yes, it has been done many times before. It even works quite well. Trouble is, XEphem is not GPL and Red Hat (who bought Cygnus) strictly prohibits using Cygwin runtime libs in non-GPL

Xephem compiled for Cygwin
Has anyone attempted to port the xephem software to Cygwin? It looks like it can be done with some time and effort but wondered if someone has already attempted. I have xephem running quite well on my
