Javascript vs. COM Object

[Arlen22]

I am trying to write a web interface to dynamically give the position of a telescope in xml format when requested. I am using ASCOM 5.0a to control the Telescope. I am wondering how to make it connect to the control software (POTH) and get the position from it. Can you call a C# or VB function and get the coordinates back? I should think there would be someway to do this. These are all COM componants. Thanks.

What the functions would be or how you call them or whether they exist is up to whoever wrote the COM objects.

They are all COM objects. Here is what I would do in a VB Command line:

        

Dim Scope As New ASCOMDome.Telescope
Console.WriteLine("Scope is now at " & Scope.RightAscension & " , " & Scope.Declination)

How would I write it in PHP. "ASCOMDome" is the name of the driver and it is referenced somewhere else. I am using VB 2008 Express.
