Astrophysics v2 focuser in Title/Summary
CCDSoft ASCOM Focuser Plugin
The FocusAPI plugin provides CCDSoft with the ability to control focusers via their ASCOM standard drivers. With this plugin, you can use focusers not supported internally by CCDSoft but which have ASCOM drivers. Also, some focusers have ASCOM drivers that provide enhanced functionality as compared to that provided with the internal support in CCDSoft.

ASCOM RoboFocus Focuser Driver
Platform 6 returns to a single installer for the whole platform, removing the need to install an update on top of the core platform and introduces a number of device interface changes to bring consistency to the information available. It also provides new flexibility for client and driver authors to innovate and add their own driver commands without having to release new versions

Astrophysics v2 focuser in Description
EQMOD ASCOMPAD
ASCOMPAD is a free, open source application that provides the ability to control ASCOM compatible Telescope Mounts and Focusers using a standard gamepad. Features: -Focuser operation uses 4 user definable presets to provide different resolutions of movement. -Focuser control can be assigned to buttons or Joystick -Focuser lock to prevent accidental change of focus

CCD Commander
CCD Commander will control your CCD camera exposures, your mount movement, and your focuser to completely automate your night's imaging. CCD Commander allows unlimited combinations of these different actions to give you full control of your telescope and camera. The simple to use Graphical User Interface makes these complex configurations very easy to setup.

POTH
POTH has many useful features such as traffic logging and its own set of "handset" controls for the telescope, dome, and focuser. There is a detailed help file for POTH, accessible from the Start menu, ASCOM Platform, Scope/Dome hubs. It also has a "quiet" mode which minimizes traffic to and from the driver, useful for ill-behaved driver/controller combinations that might have timing issues

Universe Sandbox
Universe Sandbox is a physics-based space simulator. It merges real-time gravity, climate, collision, and physical interactions to reveal the beauty of our universe and the fragility of our planet. Unlike many other games and simulators, Universe Sandbox actually simulates gravity, temperature, and climate for various bodies.

Additional Astrophysics v2 focuser selection
ASCOM AstroPhysics Telescope Driver
The Astro-Physics V2 driver has been developed for Astro-Physics by Ray Gralak of Sirius Imaging. Unlike the earlier driver, this V2 driver is now fully owned and supported by Astro-Physics. It has been through rigorous testing and is being treated as an on-going project. We thank Ajai Sehgal for the first driver, which he developed on his own.

RoboFocus
The RoboFocus is a remote focus driver to be installed on your existing focus mechanism. RoboFocus provides digital control and feedback of the focus position using a stepping motor controlled by a microprocessor. The user sends commands from his computer to the RoboFocus to move the focus, and receives back digital position information.

am-6.2
Spectra which can be computed with am include thermal emission, absorption, transmission, and excess delay. The program can modify computed spectra to model the response of spectrometers and receiving systems. Measured spectra can be fitted using a simple scheme for flagging model parameters as fit variables.
