APCC Standard version 1.9.6.6
ASCOM V2 version 5.60.04

You will need to update both APCC and ASCOM V2
For this release you can install over your existing software (you do not need to uninstall/install)


Among the changes in this update:
  • Incorrect "Warning: Park Cancelled" no longer shows in third party apps when parking mount (particularly NINA)
  • APCC View South checkbox display option preference is now saved
  • Restrict range of Dec Arc Tracking to within min and max declination (APCC Pro)

Thanks Guys,

 

Not to get picky here but couldn’t they name it with the version number vs latest. I like to keep a backup just incase I need to go back so the version number makes it easy to track. Just saying…

Hi Steve

I'll pass along the feedback. Part of the reason for the generic naming is so that the link does not need to be changed on the downloads page each time a version changes and the file is immediately available to anyone who downloads.

Some customers bookmark that link
