Hi all - I have resurrected my classic LX90 from storage to get back into sky-watching. It dates from around 2001. Autostar shows firmware ver. 32E - should I upgrade it so that I can upload new info and any programming improvements that might have happened in the meantime? Or should I leave well alone? Horror stories abound of incompatibilities between the old and the new Autostar. Any help would be appreciated.

If its working well leave it as it is.

I had the same situation as yours and decided to upgrade to 43eg. You can read the readme43eg.txt file which is included in the Build43eg.zip file to see the subtle changes. The upgrade went well and I'm now setting up for Fall viewing.
