I do not have a scope with this firmware, but I will watch your post for a response. There is a Meade person that reads things on the board now, but I think he also travels a lot. If there is no response for a few days, I will send a message another way.

IHELLO WE NEED A RESPONSE FROM MEADE HERE! This is a well know ongoing issue with any audiostar or and 497ep Tour data gets corrupted after 5.9 updater says data successfully send to hand box. It all over the web and we need a fix! As of now this is the only solution and it is third party software so it probably will not void you warranty http://members.optus...om.au/johansea/ use beta version if you are willing as Meade has done nothing to help us.

I sure as heck wished I would have looked at this message before updating my Autostar. Tours are corrupt, and can't fix them. I did look at the 3rd party software but want to save the $$$$. Why hasn't Meade addressed this problem?

I'm not necessarily suggesting you use it (after reading about all the problems I'm too scared to send any data myself to my new Audiostar for fear of corrupting the Tours!), but if the cost was holding you back then you might want to take another look. You might be able to at least get it back to factory settings?
Cheers,
Dean.

Agreed. How come Meade has not addressed this problem? That and the fact that most of their software is buggy on the newer Windows platforms. Very irritating.Bump.......... please keep on top of this as it is pretty disgusting that we have to use a third party software to update out handbox on telescopes that cost 2k and up. Please see if you can get this info to management . Thank you

Andrew Johansen's MyScope isn't terribly intuitive, but when you get it figuredout, you'll see that it's very powerful.

Scroll to the bottom for the latest version that supports the 497EP.
Starpatch is great, by the way!

Meade just announced the AutoStar Updater 6.0, which is supposed to fix the problems mentioned above for the 497EP and AudioStar handsets.
