User Reviews

  • I used the software for a couple of time and love it really because I use it on my raspberry Pi3 and it works absolutely fine with my ZWO Cam. I use a 7" inch display and that shows all dialog boxes in the full size. I was planing to use a smaller 5 inch display and saw the dialog boxes were cut and I was not able to push the start button. Here I would like to wish if those Dialog boxes would have scroll bars that also small display could be used. That would be so great having a tiny very nice Guider direct connected beside the cam. I really like this program thanks for all the effort to put into it.
  • This tool can be used quite intuitively and the user interface gives a good overview of the most important parameters. Furthermore questions will be answered very fast by the support team. Thanks for that!
  • It's a awesome program. Just require more detailed installation and user guidelines. Got a QHY5R-II Color. Will it support the same.
  • The best auto guiding software! I mean it! Thank you for adding support for Starlight Xpress cameras.
  • Excellent software and support. Probably the best guiding software of any platform. Thanks so much for all the additional features and changes. Dan
