Milton,

Got your new version and I'm impressed on how efficient your code is. The program has real time histogram and image displays and my laptop handles the workload with ease.

Now if the weather would only cooperate, I'll get a chance to try it out through the telescope.

Hi folks;

Any registered user who wants to try out Astro IIDC 2.0 Beta

(currently B27) should point their browser to:

http://www.outcastsoft.com/AstroIIDCOpenB27.dmg

After you download it and then mount the "AstroIIDCOpenB27.dmg",

please READ THE "Read Me First - Beta 27 Release notes" BEFORE YOU USE

IT, especially the second "NOTE:" paragraph at the top.

As I asked in the Read Me, please send bug reports or problems

encountered TO ME before you post them to the group. I want a chance

to address them before problems get posted here and are stuck in

CyberSpace for an eternity - which makes it looks like the final

product is buggy wheras your really having problems with a Beta.

One area that is "weak" is the Meade scope object tracking and due to

bad weather has received very little testing at all.

Have a nice weekend..
