Does AstroPlanner use ASCOM for controlling telescopes?

Not currently. The main reason for this is that ASCOM is a Windows-only technology. AstroPlanner is cross-platform, and hence uses it’s own cross-platform telescope control code. ASCOM support is a frequently-requested feature, and will be added to the Windows version of AstroPlanner V2 and after (currently in beta. Release mid-2009).
