ASCOM driver for a Meade LS

Someone on another forum has asked about an ASCOM driver for his Meade LS 6. I know Meade paid to have a driver built for the LS and it used to be on the Meade website. It is not included on their newest version of their ASCOM driver Platform. I am wondering if anyone on The Sky Searchers might have a copy of that driver that could be sent to me, that I could forward on to the person looking for it.

Thanks,

Hi Bill,

Is this the driver to which you are referring?

Hi JayTee,
The driver for the LS scopes should be there, but it is not. They have a general AutoStar driver and an AutoStar 2 driver. The LS is AutoStar 3, which had its own driver. There was a Beta Version of the AutoStar 3 driver and I believe it was part of the ASCOM driver platform, but it appears to have been removed. I am hoping to find a copy of an older version of the platform that has the driver on it. I have called customer support, but the turnover of people since those drivers were made that the person I talked to just barely understood what I was talking about. Therefore, I am asking around to see if anyone has it.

Thanks,

Hi Bill
Long time no see :-)
please check here: this is the driver I was using with my LS6 to connect to APT and other standard astro software.
