  Hi Jerry, 

  Celestron Focus Motor is not available for SkySafari on macOS at this time.

  Probably with the release of SS7 for macOS this feature will be included.

  Thanks!

  Any update on this? When do you expect SS7 to be released? I just purchased SS6 Pro tonight before realizing it didn't have focus control (because that's not called out on the product page). Will the upgrade from SS6 to SS7 be free?

  Adam, 

  SS7 will be released before end of 2021.  It will not be free.  But. it will be steeply discounted for the first month of sale, historically release at a 50% discount.  The massive discount is offered as a way to say thank to all previous users for supporting SkySafari development.  If we released SS7 for free there would be no more business, no more development.  Nobody wants that. The professional astronomy software market is tiny.

  Thanks for your understanding.
