Solar Eclipse Maestro 1.8.3v8 for MacOS X released

Postby xjubier » Mon Feb 16, 2015 11:57 pm

Solar Eclipse Maestro 1.8.3v8, the most versatile and feature-rich application for solar eclipses, is now available for download. Two versions are available: one is a Universal Binary running on Tiger or newer and the other, Intel only, running on Snow Leopard and newer.

Both versions support all the Nikon DSLRs including the latest D750, D810 and D4s. However the latest Canon cameras (EOS 1200D/Rebel T5/Kiss X70, 1100D/Rebel T3/Kiss X50, 100D/Rebel SL1/Kiss X7, 600D/Rebel T3i/Kiss X5, 650D/Rebel T4i/Kiss X6i, 700D/Rebel T5i/Kiss X7i, 70D, 7D Mark II, 6D, 5D Mark III, 1D X and 1D C) are only supported on the Intel version. Legacy Canon cameras (EOS 350D/Rebel XT/Kiss N, 20D/20Da and 5D) are only supported by the Universal Binary version. Preliminary support for the Nikon D5500, D810A and D7200, Canon EOS 750D/Rebel T6i/Kiss X8i and 760D/Rebel T6s/8000D.
All the SBIG CCD cameras and their filter wheels are supported as well and it does also work with a few Nikon Coolpix cameras.

Users of all the previous releases are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this version as it brings improvements and fixes bugs. That way you will be able to enjoy new or improved features and bug fixes as well as eclipses even more without worrying about operating your digital cameras.
Higher accuracy Besselian elements are now used for ASE 2013, HSE 2013, ASE 2014, TSE 2015, TSE 2016, ASE 2016, ASE 2017, deltaT and dUT1 have been updated to the latest values, many under the hood improvements were made and an interesting new feature was improved for Nikon DSLRs: shooting at full resolution with the mirror always raised is possible (shouldn't be confused with video mode) using the two instructions LVPSTART and LVPSTOP. This gives even better results and reduce the time needed between successive frames as you don't need to wait after locking-up the mirror.

PS: To improve the support of Canon DSLRs I'm looking for used bodies. I'd prefer fairly recent models, but feels free to contact me if you can donate a camera.
If you're already using a Canon EOS 7D Mark II, then please contact me off-list.
