  1. Hey guys (and gals)...I have a VB script that runs a timer for my telescope that I would like to make a GUI for that has a space to input the timer amount and a start button to run the script...I have ZERO programming knowledge and am not asking anyone to do it for me...but if someone could point me in the right direction I am up for the challenge of learning to code and get this up and running... Here is the code that I am using... ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dim endtime ' connect to EQASCOM ' set scope = CreateObject("EQMOD_Sim.Telescope") set scope = CreateObject("EQMOD.Telescope") scope.Connected = true ' Move mount west at sidereal x 2 ' moveaxis(a,"b") where a=0 for RA axis, a=1, for DEC axis, b is rate in degrees/sec <------NO QUOTES AROUND THE "b"...it keeps making a smiley scope.moveaxis 0,0.00832 'wait 60 secs endtime = timer + 60 do while timer < endtime loop ' Stop tracking and drift back scope.moveaxis 0,0 scope.tracking = false 'wait 60 secs endtime = timer + 60 do while timer < endtime loop ' Start tracking again scope.tracking = true ____________________________________________________________________________________________ What I would like it to be is just a simple popup box with a prompt to enter timer amount and then a "start" button underneath it...maybe even a countup and countdown section so at a glance you can see where you are in the process...If this is going to be extremely complex and just so far over my head please someone say something upfront..I won't get my feelings hurt I promise... EQMOD is a program that runs my telescope and what this will do is interact with the program and speed the mount up (2x sidereal rate for the specified time) then turn the tracking off for the exact same time as specified for speeding it up...we use this to drift align the scope using a CCD or DSLR for astrophotography... Thanks in advance... Jonathan
  2. Issue...when running this script and trying to save tree locations it keeps telling me that it needs to be in fullscreen...it is in fullscreen until I get the error message telling me that it needs to be in full screen...then clicking ok puts it in fullscreen and clicks the "zoom out" twice...but hovering over a tree and pressing "Alt + Space" gives me the error message again... I just planted my crops so have not been able to use anything else in the script...
