Dear SB,
I have been offered a chance to buy a used Celestron Compustar 8" SCT circa 1988. It is in extremely good condition and I have done quite some research about this telescope. It seems that the Y2K bug was not addressed by Celestron so the controller/computer can not deal with dates beyond 1999. Seems ashamed to waste such a nice optic.
My research indicates that "TheSky" version 4 or maybe 5 will control the scope but not later versions. Could this be confirmed? If so, could I purchase from SB one of these older version?
Thanks much,
Gary Totten
