* There are many new exciting features including -
* Wildcard's new TPAS - Telescope Pointing Analysis System.
This includes mount error analysis for one-star and two-star
aligned mounts and an enhanced pointing kernel.
* FROM PLANETARIUM catalog. Allows a GOTO operation commanded
from a planetarium program to appear as a pseudo FROM PLANETARIUM
object entry which the GUIDE display will then allow you to perform
a PUSHTO or to perform a GOTO from a planetarium program when in used
in conjunction from the ServoCat and some planetarium programs.
* Fixes to the satellite orbital element download and improved
satellite tracking
* The Sun as an object (in MODE CATALOGS, SUN/PLANETS)
* SCRATCH OBJECTS (See MODE SETUP, SETUP SCRATCH and
MODE CATALOG/SCRATCH OBJECTS. There are two convenient
scratch objects that you can label with your own name and then
enter the RA and Dec for via the front panel interface.
* SETUP LOCATION Lat & Long can now also be entered in decimal notation
* Extensions to the Meade protocol, including support of GOTO operations
which can be used with the FROM PLANETARIUM catalog.
* Arrows in GUIDE mode can be reversed in SETUP GUIDE MODE
* Uranometria Second Edition and Herald-Bobroff Astroatlas support
* Hickson Galaxy Cluster positions corrected for correct Epoch
* New servocat protocol. Requires new ServoCat Beta firmware.
The new protocol includes horizon and Alt limit checking. Set your
timezone, date, time and location.
* SETUP GOTO menu. To establish upper and lower Alt GOTO limits
and to optionally enable/disable limits audible alarm. Alarm will
sound if GOTO attempted if Argo Navis is not aligned, if Alt of object
is below or above limits or is below horizon.
* ... and much more!
