Firmware Versions on the SkyProdigy SeriesSkyProdigy scopes have two sets of processors. There are processors in the hand control (HC) and there are processors in the base of the scope in a section known as the motor control (MC). The MC firmware can be updated by the owner (read this). The SkyProdigy is provided with a StarSense hand control. The original SkyProdigy has a version of camera that is incompatible with
the current StarSense hand control and firmware. That version of SkyProdigy
has no RS-232 control capability and does not work with AUX devices (like
the Celestron GPS module). Read this for step by step instructions on upgrading the hand control firmware. Celestron has posted an official page detailing all firmware versions for the hand control: The motor control has not received any updates since the mount was introduced.
Use the Get Version Info option on the Hand Control menu.
