Major regressions in Loftier Sierra (10.13.0 to 10.13.half-dozen) have rendered tethered control mostly unusable with this OS version. All those regressions have been stock-still by Apple in Mojave, so those nevertheless using Loftier Sierra are encouraged to motility to Mojave and those running older OSes should either stay put or else skip Loftier Sierra altogether.

Guillaume C., Montpellier, French republic What a great software. I'm looking foward to explore and utilize all the features. Stephen V., Invercargill, New Zealand A big thank you to Xavier… SEM took complete control of my two cameras (Nikon D80 & D90) and worked flawlessly, running on an HP-mini 1001 "Hackintosh". Some heart stopping moments for usa on Hikueru Atoll (rained on us 20 minutes pre-totality) so I was very grateful for SEM to have command when the clouds parted and totality arrived because my easily were shaking besides much to operate a camera manually! What a marvelous slice of software. Constantinos E., Thessaloniki, Greece I'm just trying the two Canon 5Ds that are gonna exist working with Maestro and they both run smoothly with no issues. I think that the software runs much faster than other eclipse like software. The response is ultra fast with no lags! The results are visible there for the solar corona and here for the Baily's beads.
