I also found this suggestion from a ways back: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=540

Yes, putting the custom entry capability on the right side as a separate control panel seems to me to be a good choice. It would be readily accessible and also could be minimized if not needed at any given time. Thank you for considering this.

Cheers (and stay safe),

I second this suggestion from about a year ago. One thing I would like automatically added would be any enhancements and their respective settings used from the Live Stacking enhancement tab. It would be nice to be able to manually add information on ancillary equipment used that are important to th...

Chris,
Nice! Any chance there's recording of that night's broadcast that I can access? I'm interested in learning more about making simple mosaics.

Yeah, I forgot he mentioned Hyperstar. That does put the camera at the front, which would remove any mount clearance issues. As far as undersampling goes, the Hyperstar can be installed or removed as desired. So it's not like he has a permanent 406.4 mm focal length scope. He can also operate at the...

Good luck, Joe! Having made the same transition (RI to 294MC Pro) a while back, you are in for a real treat!

I've wondered the same thing for quite a while. I haven't yet heard a good explanation of why one should choose to use both, though I know imagers I respect highly (Chris for one) do so. As I understand from the manual, if you use both and want to save the image as you see it on the screen, you must...

CPWI's ASCOM focuser driver will report Connected=True if CPWI is running and if CPWI has found a focuser on your...

Hi Don Well, I have been doing flats a lot over the past few months and I always keep the brightness setting the same as lights and they work great. Bruce Thanks Bruce, I have generally been using Brightness of 0 for the flats and 4 for the lights, which was based on some settings reported by Chris...

According to the SharpCap manual, when selecting the bias frame option, it "requires" the camera brightness level control to not be changed when capturing the target image light frames. However, in this thread, https://forums.sharpcap.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1282 , Chris states that he uses a diff...
