The imaging source made DMK's now they only sell them through celestron.

Ditto.
I do not own a golden key, but tottaly agree with Mr. Ramsden observation.
In spite of this, I do read the messages on this group on a regular basis.
Very knowleageable long time participants, to say the least, some good tips from time to time, even for a rookie, like me.

me too....
without Alan Friedman introducing me to Milton's brainpower and creativity, my nonprofit wouldn't exist as it does. I just reached my 500,000th student last week, that has personally viewed the Sun with me in color in three different wavelengths through Milton's creation, onsite at their school. That's something to be proud of for any software designer. I hope the financials work out and someone recognizes the importance of this software on Mac's in the educational environment. There is nothing else out there right now on PC or Mac available to new solar enthusiasts since DMK sold their line of cameras to Celestron and they ruined the imaging interface.

Do try to understand Milton's position.
I bought a golden key when they were available, but I am still hoping that someday, when/if he can, Milton will bring Astro IIDC back.
