DESCRIPTION
ScopeDriver allows you to control a Gemini, Meade Autostar or LX200 astronomical telescope with your Mac. An advanced 'Find' feature helps you locate tens of thousands of sky objects by Common Name, Bayer/Flamsteed designation, Constellation, and much more. Other features include Observing Lists, Observing Log, unlimited Observing Sites, Time Synchronization, and many others.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.3a4:
  • This pre-release expires on 01 July 2009.
  • Fixed problem reporting Right Ascension and Declination in Observing List Full-Screen Mode.
  • Improved the manner by which position queries are included or suppressed in the ScopeDriver History disk file and the Communications window.
  • Changed Basic Celestron Compatible Telescope Type to Modern Celestron Models to encourage users to first try this setting.
  • Connect window: Fixed issue where Telescope Type would not be saved for Celestron and iOptron models.
  • Increased maximum size of ScopeDriver History file to about 750 kilobytes.
  • Added to the debug code in working with Celestron coordinates.
  • This build sets the state of Filter Position Data in the Communications window to false (not filtering data). It also sets the Application Preference Log Position Queries to History File to true. These are the optimal settings for testing in the pre-release series. You may temporarily override this behavior in the Preferences window and the Communications window by holding down the SHIFT key as the window opens, which enables the logging control.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

ANONYMOUS  Worked right away. Easy to set up and easy feature set. Sync'd my computer's clock to my LX-90's 497 autostar controller without a hitch.

Wonderful product.
