Closing this. Tested thoroughly. Will handle beta issues separately. |

Remove capture from telescope coordinates altogether. It is a wart anyway since Planner is designed for offline use. |

In TheSky X, the RASCOMTele features do not work unless you explicitly connect to the telescope from the RASCOMTele interface. If the telescope is connected via the TheSky UI, you still can't use it from RASCOMTele without connecting it there. This is different from TheSky 6.
The problem is, how do you capture from Telescope Coordinates in the PlanCapture applet without connecting the scope? And if the scope is connected, mouse-wheel time control doesn't work. This was true in TheSky 6 as well. Need to consider all of this. |

Lots of wrestling. Turns out starting with 10.1.9 the TheSky6.tlb has been replaced by TheSkyX 1.0.tlb. It has different names for all of the enumerated constants! So, we can't use either of them in practice. Instead, I'll recode everything to use the numeric values. This will make the Plan Capture and Quick Capture applets completely late bound and independent of the TLBs entirely. |

Working great! All set for beta 3, which I'll release once SW BIsque releases TheSky X 10.1.10 and I can re-check with that. |

Matt sent a test build, 10.1.9.4210. Time control works! Now to unfix the logic from before, detect the minimum version, and unfix the docs. |

Beta 2: Forget mouse wheel time control in the capture applets. TheSky X's clock controls provide it, and it is much more intuitive that way anyway (and can be used without running a capture applet, changing window focus, etc.). Changed docs to reflect this and disabled/hid it all when using TheSky X. |

Updated to 10.1.9 and things are in good enough shape to make a release. The time control does not work, and the telescope always reports IsConnected = 0. But it's still usable for planning even with time features, as the reporting of JD is OK. Specifically, the following problems remain as of TheSky X 10.1.9:
Problem 1:
CurJD = SKY.DocumentProperty(skDocProp_JulianDateNow)
Debug.Print CurJD
SKY.DocumentProperty(skDocProp_JulianDateNow) = CurJD + DeltaJD ' Adjust JD in TheSky
SKY.UpdateSolarSystem
Debug.Print SKY.DocumentProperty(skDocProp_JulianDateNow)
results in the JD property changing in the second Debug.Print, but no effect on the actual planetarium. Then on the next call, the JD is the old value.
Problem 2:
SKY.DocumentProperty(skDocProp_UseComputerClock) = 0
does not turn off Use Computer Clock in TheSky X. Presumably, setting it to 1 would not turn it on either.
Problem 3:
always returns 0 whether the telescope is connected in TheSKy X or not.
Will send my findings to Bisque.
