As usual the Service Pack 3 also includes the Service Pack 1 & 2.
The Help file is updated as well, by the way: to select two binary stars from the list just click on the first star, then CTRL+click on the second one.
To save the focuser position in the FITS header see the "Options" window of Camera control.
To zoom and pan the linear graphs of autoguide just right-click for the context menu and left-click to drag. It's now possible to set the length of the calibration pulses and to calibrate only in RA.
Clear skies,
Fabio.

When I download SP3 than I get a "AA7ServicePack3.zip.part" file with about 31 MB and a AA7ServicePack3 zip file with 0MB.
I can not open both. What is wrong?

It seems that the file did not download properly. I just tested it though and it works fine for me.

Joerg,
I had the same error message .....
Just renamed "AA7servicepack3.zip.part" to "AA7servicepack3.zip" and it worked OK.
