Thank you for all your patience and help! The usual list of changes is: 2011/8/26 - v.1.60 New features and bug fixes -Added: New User Interface. APT has a new look. All features are grouped in three tabs Camera, Telescope and Tools. Also there is different look for 4:3 and wide screens that gives optimal size of the preview. -Added: Restore window mode and window resizing. -Added: Keeping restored window position and size between APT restarts -Added: Multi-monitors support. APT can moved through the monitors while is in restored mode. -Added: Possibility to select bigger User Interface fonts for notebooks with big screen resolution and small display (full version only). -Added: Dropdown lists have scroll-bars that can be used with mouse. -Added: Shoot button can be used for Bulb exposures.

If the camera is on it will be connected automatically. -Fixed: the @@@ bug in file naming. -Fixed: LiveView automation now uses 30s as exposure time. -Fixed: Other small enhancements and fixes. -Updated: User's Guide document (the new things are in green) Take a look on our growing Gallery.
