  • An issue that would prevent users with ASCOM versions 6.4 and below from connecting the camera (maybe fix).
  • An issue where ASCOM cameras that support gain, but not offset would not show available gains in the dropdown list.
  • An issue where gear might disconnect prior to running end of sequence actions.
  • An issue where some users could not open images from disk (SGPro would hang).
  • An issue where some users were unable to start an SGPro trial

  • ASCOM Switch Devices will now temporarily disconnect in order to show their settings dialog.
  • Corrected an issue where the version update notification would download the wrong file.

  • End of sequence switch state is now deferred until camera warm-up is complete.
  • Several ASCOM camera offset related bugs (including file naming issues).
