Fair enough. If there was one perfect software package, then there would only be a need for one software package. Each of us has their own feature set that...
I'm pretty sure Stark labs uses a private DSI driver for both Windows and Mac. At least I recall Craig writing that on the starklabs group. It's worth a try...
No matter how well a program is written there will be user error problems. It is impossible to right a perfect program that can have every possible scenario...
1. It's buggy. I get uncaught exceptions all the time. 2. The UI is non-standard. The menu across the top is non-standard. There are no tooltips. Fields are...
And this is the part I don't get. I'm asked to be specific about my complaints so I am. I "don't like the program" for what I consider to be valid, rational...
Thanks Michael. You made some valid points. Anyone have any answers on design, suggestions (about the product not personal) etc. that could help clarify some...
I think Michaels points were valid. Not much can be done about them without bug fixes and rewrites or abandonment of Envisage. You either learn to live with...
Sanfer, Cosidering what "financial" problems that Meade is trying to work-out now, the software is very low pripority for them. Frank "Until you do what you...
Floyd, I agree that there will always be user errors, but in this case, again the amount of work needed to give an appropriate error message is minimal. The...
Frank, I think that this is a very good reason to unload IP and Envisage to an independent software developer. Meade would also be unloading the cost of...
Frank, all the more reason to not buy more Meade products then I suppose. The software is an integral part of the cameras they sell and should not be low...
All of this is real nice except for a little snag. Envisage and Autostar Suite are made to work with Meade telescopes firmware without the need for ASCOM...
I guess the thing to do is just buy a camera from another manufacturer, such as SBig and pay a lot of money? Truth is, as a consumer you have the ability to...
Yeah I have a suggestion, RTFM!! Most of his complaints are nitpicking IF you've read the manual, followed the tutorials and spent the time to watch the videos...
As an enthusiast of limited competence may I add my comment ? I have tried to read the manual (and updates) but it is a pretty awful piece of technical...
John, I disagree with your comment about Meade having to re-write all of their firmware. As I understand ASCOM, the idea is to have an ASCOM compliant driver....
Floyd, I can't argue with your logic. There are companies that I no longer do business with because I "voted with my feet". As I see it there are three basic...
It's not complex software. What gave you that idea? It should be dead easy software that takes images for the length, duration and type that I specify. The...
Well...that about brings it around the objective of this group. From the--Deep-Sky-Imager Guidelines and Rules: The objective of the Deep Sky Imager Group is...
... . ... ============================================================ This is the second time someone has mentioned the cntl button, and I have yet been able...
Bruce, I can not agree more with your assessment. Unfortunately Meade is not know for listening to customers or for that matter really for customer service. So...
My Bad! I finally got around to attaching my guide camera on my vista system, a dsi pro, and the control button appeared instead of the color button that I had...
... at ... And you just can't seem to get the software to work properly, or to get it running correctly. Is that just coincidence, or is someone trying to tell...
Envisage seems to work fine for me. Takes pictures and post process, etc. First night I got it I plugged in the camera and took pictures, seemed simple enough....
... James, no offense intended, but this is becoming tedious. Michael expressed his opinion, and once challenged backed it up with his reasons, observations,...
Amen! Let's see some photos, guys & gals! Skies have been crappy (& cold too) here in NW Arkansas, but I always enjoy looking at other's results. Thanks, Bob...
OK, I swear, last message. 1. I'm not having trouble getting to work properly. I am refusing to use it because I think it is poorly designed and executed. 2....
