Version 8 Final Update
(Canopus Only)
The final update for MPO Canopus version 8 is
available by contacting Bdw Publishing,
when it will be emailed to you. This is a 10MB ZIP file with the final
versions of the appropriate files. It is NOT a SETUP installation file. If you
cannot accept 10MB files, we'll try to make special arrangements.
Make backups of the originals and replace them
with the files in the ZIP.
No updates are available for MPO Connections
v8 since it relied on now out-dated drivers from the camera manufacturers. Updates do not
apply to the Asteroid Viewing Guide since this is an annual purchase. The last version 8
is more than three years removed from the current release.
Version 8
and previous versions are no longer maintained and are offered "as-is".
Final Version 9 Updates
The files below are ZIPs of specific programs that have been updated since the general
9.5.0.3 update. These are the final updates to these programs.
Version 9 and previous versions are no longer maintained
and are offered "as-is".

If you upgrade one MPO program to version 10, then you must upgrade all other MPO
programs as well. Because of fundamental changes to core data files, it is not possible to
have earlier versions and V10 reside in the same directory tree.
