Re: Skywatcher Alt Az bolts

Thanks Geoff - I'm 'only' doing Solar so, again, it's not terribly important that it's accurate - but it's still a somewhat crude method. I left it late this time, having completed a new obsy before early evenings were still suitable to grab Polaris - and I've had to use the Sun itself. I'm close bu...

Re: Dual monitor

Looks increasingly as though I'll just have to work within the monitor space I have - they're both 32 inch so it's going to be doable.
Just need to remember I can only move the mouse through screen to screen.

Thanks Robin.....

Re: Dual monitor

Really not too sure what's going wrong at the moment. I've connected up Windows Remote Viewer with one PC controlling the individual PCs on the mounts. Using just one instance of Sharpcap I cannot force dual view. The serving PC is set with 3 monitors, but dual view just stays within its window and ...

Re: Dual monitor

Thanks Robin. I've just found out Windows Remote can work 2 PCs, so I'm going to have another look into that. As it keeps happening, how do I get out of SC's dual opition if both screens move to the Live View? Turning PC off is the only way I've managed! Supplement Question. Can 2 instances of Sharp...

Re: Dual monitor

Looks increasingly likely that NoMachine doesn't have the facility for extending displays to be able to use the double display option in Sharpcap. Back to the original setup....

Dual monitor

I am testing the dual monitor option, remotely through NoMachine, intending to work round to having 3 monitors running 2 PCs on 2 mounts.

I seem to have started badly, with the camera live view on two monitors.

How do I revert, easily, back to single view!?

Re: Skywatcher Alt Az bolts

Nifty!

If only there was a way to do something similar when using a tripod. Metalworking is beyond me, though. Will have to live with it..

Cheers Robin.

Re: Skywatcher Alt Az bolts

Aye Robin - mind the new mount is only 4 months old - only now just starting to set up in the still to be completed obsy. Good job there's Sharpcap to help out with sync and adjust. :mrgreen: Perhaps I should get another couple JTD dual rig alignment saddles - I have one to help align 2 scopes, mayb...

Skywatcher Alt Az bolts

Does anyone get a good or even very good polar alignment on a skywatcher mount. I have two neq6-r pros being set up. I don't really need accurate as I concentrate on Solar. But last night I was following the excellent polar align on Sharpcap - edging very slowly towards the target but never really g...

Re: New Feature : Planetary Live Stacking

I made a video going through the great new features in yesterday's version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1LOMXn9dWM Special thanks to DMach from Cloudy Nights who provided the incredible SER file. Thanks for the display - that was good to see. Just a stupid question - you started with a lower s...
