Product Description:
ScopeDriver is an enhanced software interface for your astronomical telescope. It allows you to connect a Macintosh to an Autostar, LX-200, Losmandy Gemini, or compatible telescope.
This program expands the capabilities of your instrument -- adding hundreds of features, including: an intuitive means of finding tens of thousands of objects by common name, Bayer/Flamsteed designation, and constellation; Area Search; an Observing Log; multiple/sharable Observing Lists; entry of orbiting bodies; time synchronization; and much more.
What's new in this version:
- Area Search Window may now be taken out of Full Screen Mode via the Full Screen checkbox control. This is useful, for example, when using Area Search to place an object on the CCD chip or in the field of a digital camera via remote control; both the Area Search Window and the camera interface windows may now be viewed simultaneously.
- Added splitter cursor behavior to Find Object Window.
- Edit Sun-Orbiting Object Window: Elements Equinox may now be reverted back to Julian 2451545.0 (2000.0) simply by clearing the Elements Equinox field and tabbing out of the field.
- Edit Sun-Orbiting Object Window, Elliptical Orbit Model: Selecting Tp - Perihelion Time from the pop-up menu now disables the Epoch: label text, in addition to the Epoch text entry field.
- Updated documentation.

ScopeDriver is free to try for 30 days (beta or release), and if you need more time, you can request a demo extension from within ScopeDriver.
I customarily make the betas available to everyone, and if you're having crashes, I wish you'd let me know.
