Decided to upgrade the firmware in my SCT today.  Went from 2.0i to 
4.2G.  Upgrade was pretty easy, downloaded the update program from 
Meade, then ran it and it gave me the option to upgrade from a file on 
Meade's website or from a file I downloaded.  I chose the website file. 
  I also downloaded a bunch of comets, asteriods and satellites and 
loaded them in my SCT.  Took about an hour.  Using Kstars software 
(Linux) I'm locating a bunch of planetaries to try the Mallincam CCD 
Camera on tonight and tomorrow night.  My current list is all in the 
Eastern and Northern and Southern sky:

NGC 7027, 6894, 6804, 6852, 6781, 6742, 6826, 6210, 6445, 6751, 6772, 
6309, 6818.

Going to have some fun!

Doug Phillipson
