I got the email but was surprised at the renewal fee of $149. I just put it out there so if viewers, if they weren't aware, they are now. I'm not sure I need an upgrade yet but it's not clear if you get a new camera if you have to upgrade to get the drivers!

Chuck you should check with them
they will waive the $149 for existing license holders
You can use 3.1 indefinitely. 3.2 is the subscription version
the links etc. were sent out in an email. if you need those again, drop me a line and i can try to dig up that email
Brian
My license shows 3 available, subscription ended, $149 & $59/year to continue. My version 3.2 works but updates don't work!!! Looks like they've joined the dark side of the force (AKA $$$).

Yes i did.?
i read through that pretty thoroughly because i have 6 licenses for SGP (they sell it in 3 packs and i needed 4 so that's where i ended up)
I decided to give it a year and see what $50+/year subscription gets me. if they do significant improvements that are meaningful to me, i'll continue that.?
If not, i'll just stop and stick with the version i have.? Fortunately they allow you to continue to use the version you have without a subscription, so it seems reasonable
BrianDid you get the same notice from SGP that they've gone to yearly fee service?

Hi again Tony
Pretty much all software works great with Losmandy Gemini,?thanks to its excellent ASCOM software program Gemini Telescope.net
For capture software i've?personally used many solutions, including Sequence Generator Pro (my current favorite), NINA, Maxim DL, The Sky X, Sharpcap, ACP, etc. They all work extremely well for me and my Losmandy mounts with Gemini II.

I would like to hear from my fellow Losmandy users as to what they deem the best astronomy software that is most compatible with Gemini 2 to control the telescope, and which capture software is also the most compatible.
