The current version is 3.34. I don't know the history of the versions but
I sure would like to. Your version is missing a few things from the latest
version but I wouldn't worry about it. The upgrade cost is too high. (And
if we're lucky and Meade does the right thign there will be a new version
soon :-)

If you can see mag 6 stars then you have a pretty *good* site. I suspect
you're overestimating what you can see. My little WWW page
http://www.seds.org/billa/lm/rjm.html
has a method and the necessary charts to determine your limiting magnitude
objectively.
