Version 5.6  (8730)
See below for version 5.6 changes

 

 

SkyGuide provides comprehensive auto-guiding via advanced algorithms, using every detail within a guider’s field of view, even at near-zero dB SNRs. It’s compatible with all auto-guiding optical solutions.

SkyGuard extends SkyGuide‘s capabilities, offering real-time auto-focus technology, ensuring continuous critical focus during open-shutter imaging. SkyGuard requires an on axis guider (ONAG) for live auto-focus.

SkyWave uses AI-based wavefront sensing for precise, measurable telescope alignment, aka collimation.

SKG includes the SKW-Collimator version.

P.S: SKG and SKW are patented solutions.

After downloading the relevant installation packages (ZIP format) follow the installation and license management instruction available on our SKG/SKW documentation and interactive help.

SKW requires a mathematical model for each telescope, permanent models are for sale, see on online store.
PPU MODELS COME WITH 64 CREDITS ALREADY LOADED.
A SKW trial model is automatically available for every instrument set by the user in SKW.
Trail models are generic and limited to coarse collimation. No information is displayed for score at, or above 6. Some features are disabled. SKG and SKW require a license key.

Please read and fill the form at the bottom of this page, after submission the SKG/SKW download links will be available at the end of this page. You may have to scroll down to access the links.

Version 5.6 key changes:

Fix null reference exception on guider relay move with 10microns scope driver
Fix absolute focuser position not refreshed when focuser is moved outside SkyGuard

 

 

SkyGuide, SkyGuard (SKG) SkyWave (SKW) installation form (support ASCOM 6.5 SP1 & higher)

For downloading SkyGuide, SkyGuard (SKG) and SkyWave (SKW) support only ASCOM version 6.5 SP1 & higher, please fill this form to access the download packages.

Those are 32 and 64 bits Windows applications. If your Windows OS is a 32 bits or your ASCOM drivers are 32 bits only you should download the SKG 32 bits, otherwise we strongly recommend the 64 bits version.
Please select the proper installation package, either 32 or 64 bits.

IMPORTANT:
When using Maxim DL the size of the guider frame, received from Maxim-DL, is limited to 1 MPixel. When using an ASCOM driver for the guider (without Maxim-DL) SKG 32 bits limits the guider frame a 4 MPixel (after binning and/or cropping, if any). The 64 bits version does not have any limitation beside the local machine (PC) central memory.
After successful submission of this form the SKG/SKW downlaod page will be refreshed and links to all SKG/SKW download installation packages (ZIP format) will be available at the bottom of the page. Use the Windows's installer, extension .msi, for the installation. After initial installation and the first software run a license manager window pops up for either request or register a license.
Microsoft stopped all support for Windows 7 since January 2020. We strongly suggest to consider migrating to Windows 10 or higher versions. Innovations Foresight cannot guaranty Windows 7 support in the future
