I use the product in 2 ways. Difficult to review if I cannot specify what specific equipment I bought it to control, which is why it was purchased to begin with.1)use to guide my CGE mount through ASCOM(freeware), this only sometimes if I want to deal with all the baloney to connect to the mount ANCIENT computer interface. This sw vendor was of little to no use in accomplishing this and their forums were useless - had to look and ask elsewhere.2)as a planetarium on my laptop to see what is up in the night sky and use mount controller sepirately to input and goto/track objects. But here there are many FREE programs our there that do as good if not a better job! I would NOT buy this for planetarium use only.To ask for money for this software split 3 ways is a marketeering fiasco. How do we charge for something that other programs do for free? Well I am in the middle version of the sandwhich. Yes this will control your telescope - but after going through it and getting over the initial WOW factor - I no longer do. Was it worth [$] to find out? Well i guess I am one of those suckers... really glad I didn't spring for the advanced super duper deluxe extra special version.
