I thought that the software that came with the DPI would be just fine BUT there are some problems.

1. To connect to the focus and slew controls on the image mode you have to drop the connection in the telescope side of the program.

2. To use the remote hand controller you have to drop the connection that you have on the image mode.

3.The camera is lost every third or so time you try to use it, and has to be reinstalled. (Alex McConahay add)

4. The image processing program cannot open some of the files that the camera takes. (Alex McConahay add)


Come on Meade - we're controlling the same damn thing - focus and slew! Why can't you integrate the controls into one slot and dump all this switching around?

Anybody got any suggestions for a replacement software?

If you are making a list of problems, please include that:

The camera is lost every third or so time you try to use it, and has to be reinstalled.

The image processing program cannot open some of the files that the camera takes.

The install program is very awkward.
