Hi Guylain,
Is this application an upgrade to current versions or is this an all new program?
Thanks!

David,
It's both  but you don't need to uninstall anything. The installer will auto-magically do its thing. Just install over your version 1 installation - it should work as-is.
I should also add that _ALL_ license keys are honored; trials and purchased keys alike.
Hope this helps.

Hello Guylain !
J'espère trouver le temps de tester cette deuxième mouture, n'ayant pas pu expérimenter la première...
Bon cieux !

I truly used BackyardEOS for the first time this past weekend, and even though my polar alignment was way off, it was a delight to use.
Very nice piece of work Guylain! Worth way more than the price!

I tried Planetary imaging on Jupiter last night. I was surprised I actually seemed to get about 30fps (w/ T2i & my lowly Acer Netbook). It takes forever to finish writing the AVI after the capture, though - about as long as the capture itself.
Good results but I really wanted an "improve seeing" button.

BackyardEOS version 2 has just been promoted to production status; dated November 20th 2011.
I have fixed a few minor bugs since the last beta release a few weeks ago. I have also added 2 goodies. You can now suspend (and resume) your image capture plan. The second goodie is actually a new application called BackyardRED.
BackyardRED is 100% free for everyone, even if you don’t own a copy of BackyardEOS. Enjoy!
Check the new website too -> www.backyardeos.com
Thank you for your support and interest,
Guylain & Chris

Hello Guylain;
I just purchased Backyard EOS a few minutes ago. I understand I will get a "product key" via email when the transaction is complete. My question is: can I download the software now (realizing it will not be operational until I get the product key) and if so, do I download BOTH the "setup.exe installer" AND the "zip package"?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Bruce

Bruce,
Thank you; you should have your key by now.
Yes you can download and install BackyardEOS now without the key; you just won't be able to start the application until you receive your software key.
You only need to download one or the other; it's a personal choice whether you prefer to run off an installed application or simply from a folder you unzip the .zip package into. Either way you will get the exact same software.
Hope this helps,
Guylain
