HOW TO MAKE SCRIPTS UTILIZE THESKY6

ISSUE

I have TheSky6 and my scripts are written for TheSky Version 5. How can I convert my scripts to use TheSky6?

RESOLUTION

You must explicitly write your scripts to utilize TheSky6. To do this, make your CreateObject calls for telescope and thesky objects utilize TheSky6, for example:

Set objTele = CreateObject(“RASCOM.RASCOMTele”)
Set objTheSKy = CreateObject(“RASCOM.RASCOMTheSky”)

or

Set objTele = CreateObject(“TheSky.RASCOMTele”)
Set objTheSKy = CreateObject(“TheSky.RASCOMTheSky”)

becomes

Set objTele = CreateObject(“TheSky6.RASCOMTele”)
Set objTheSky = CreateObject(“TheSky6.RASCOMTheSky”)

More Information

The functionality of the RASCOMTheSky object has been superseeded by the StarChart object in TheSky6’s object model. See the Scripted Operation section in TheSky6’s help file for complete documentation on TheSky6 object model.
