Hi I am looking at getting a Daystar Quark Chromo to give me something to play with in the lighter months and was looking on the Daystar site and they say to use a IR/UV Cut filter above 80mm and then there is a sub note that if the scope is going to be used for regularly solar work then you should ...

Hi,
I have had this to what I do is activate the brightness filter in the live stack and set the threshold to exclude the 1s exposures so you at least do not see them in the live stack. You still need to manually delete them in the raw frames folder though.

Cheers

I had an issue with my ASI2600MC-PRO Friday when first connected, it would not show an image and the dropped frame counter just counted up regardless of exposure length or any other setting downloaded latest ZWO drivers and installed and then the Jan 3rd version of SharpCap installed it and restarte...

From what Robin has proposed if you did not want to use the feature then you would just launch SharpCap as you do now so don't really see a downside as you would either chose to use the feature or continue as now.

Cheers Robin, Sounds like a potential solution in the future.

I use my main APM 130/780 LZOS scope at the native f6 780mm and f4.5 585mm focal length with reducer to polar align with SharpCap and have never had an issue with alignment this was using my ASI1600MM-PRO and it works fine and I can easily get SharpCap within 2 seconds accuracy so would not think yo...

Hi Robin, Currently we have single tab in SharpCap for hardware such as filter wheel / mount / focuser... would it be possible at some point to be able to link these to camera profiles as in the future I will have two scopes that will be imaging on the same mount and will need to have two copies of ...

Hi Robin, I have just purchased the ASI2600 and read that it had a anti dew heater that could be switched on or off I have discovered the control for this in Sharpcap and it is under the misc controls tab which I must confess to having not opened before so now wonder if the heater is controllable on...

Hi Robin, Thanks for that, I have taken that approach and am currently 48 hours in to the dark frame capture cycle, Astro Pixel Processor can also do dark frame scaling and I have bias master frames at 0 and 100 as that is the two gain settings I will probably use. As this is a new camera and colour...

Hi I have just purchased the ASI2600MC-PRO and have run the sensor calibration and am now in the process of considering dark libraries. Having had a play there is no discernible amp glow which is one of the features of this sensor. On my ASI1600 I have to shoot darks for each of the exposure + gain ...
