The best indicator for the performance of the Paramount ME!

I have TheSky6 and am considering upgrading to the TheSkyX Pro. This may be a dumb question, but will TheSkyX for Windows support telescope control of a Paramount ME? I've been scanning the user guide and (thus far) have only seen a reference to the Mac version of TheSkyX for telescope control. If the Paramount ME is controllable in the Windows version also, then I plan to make the upgrade. Please let me know.

Thanks,

Paul

This blog post needs to be updated/corrected... according to ... this July 2010 forum post...

www.bisque.com/.../10533.aspx

.... theskyX does not seem to be compatible with CCDCommander, yet the blog post says...

"TheSkyX Professional Edition for Windows will be able to completely replace TheSky6 Professional Edition for Windows. CCDSoft, and your favorite Windows-based third-party software (CCDAP, CCDCommander, etc.) will still be supported. "

Haven't heard from anyone on how to display the NCP in SkyX pro... maybe it wasn't a stupid question :)

Also, may just be my computer... using Vista 64 with 8gig of RAM and a graphics rating of 5.9, but the chart refresh after a context menu is displayed on the chart, seems very slow. I'll play more and see if I can track it down.

Is there a mechanism to transfer the license from the XP machine to the Win 7 machine?

TheSkyX Pro is available for Windows or Mac. The Windows version can be installed to any Windows OS (Windows XP or later).

There's no need to transfer the license from the Windows XP machine to the Windows 7 machine.

I thought I'd drop a note here about last weekend's Midwest Astro Imaging Conference held near Chicago. SB sent Richard Wright, one of the developers of SkyX, to give a presentation of the new software and its features. I have to say Richard is an excellent speaker and the combination of his technical expertise and sense of humor made his presentation one of the best at the conference. Thanks Richard!

Yes. Would love to see some more tutorials on this also? Any chance of that down the line?

Great am downloading my upgrade to TheSkyX Pro as I type this. Can't wait to test it out.

Nice list of "what's new" with the Professional version but I cannot find a list of "what's new" over all. The "what's new" list for Professional says includes all the standard features from TheSkyX Serious Astronomer Edition, plus the following additional features but clicking the link does not take you to a "what's new" page for Standard or Serious Observer. I have a very limited budget so am looking to justify upgrading my Sky 6 Professional to Sky X Professional. It would be nice if there was a trial version to play with to see the differences.

I have a quick question... in my current use model, I plan my observing sessions in SkyTools 3, and then cotrol my mount by connecting SkyTools 3 through TheSky6 Pro/Tpoint with "The Sky-controlled Telescope" in SkyTools' ASCOM chooser dialog box. Should that still work with TheSkyX Pro/TPoint?

It would be nice to have a repository of user created databases hosted somewhere to more easily share.

A TheSkyX Sky Database (SDBXs) repository is now available here:
