When Will Skysafari 7 Finally Support the Celestron Starsense Autoguider

I have been using the excellent Celestron Starsense Autoguider (SSAG) for a couple of years now, controlling the scope from my iPad with Celestron's Skyportal IOS.

However as many here know, Skyportal while sharing roots with Skysafari 7, is far less capable than the latter. I would therefore far prefer to run my SSAG/scope setup with Skysafari 7 IOS.

So, when will Skysafari 7 IOS finally support the SSAG please?

I know that this is a joint Celestron/SimCurr issue. When I have asked one operation a similar question in the last couple of years, they have each pointed at the other.

So guys please now get together and respond to your customer base! Can't be that hard given that Skysafari 7 IOS already supports the basic Starsense module, and given that Skyportal was developed from Skysafari.

Thanks

Mike

    Mike, 

    This feature is definitely on the roadmap.  Devs will receive your request for action or an ETA.

    Thanks for your feedback!

    Thank you Keiron

    Do we have an ETA please? The SSAG will soon have been available for 2 years.

    Sorry, Mike, we do not have an ETA at the moment.

    Sorry Keiron but this is pathetic. I asked the same question almost 2 years ago. The code exists to use the autoguider in skyportal so what is the delay? I have been a SkySafari pro user for many iterations but will hesitate before upgrading to the next version. Like Mike said, you and celestron need to get your act together.

    Sorry, John.  I cannot speak to a timeline.  I do understand your frustration.

    I've forwarded your feedback to the development team.
