Hello Robin,

thank you for the update in version 9246.
Yesterday night I was out to test the new version and can confirm that the scripting issue I had is fixed.
I'll post an update of my script soonish, to have better alignment of the buttons with version 4.xxxx of Sharpcap.

Kind regards,
Norman

Hello Robin, I modified the script to use: form.ShowDialog() I am now able to run the script, using the test mode of the script. Don't know if any draw backs exist. From what I read online the form.ShowDialog() should prevent changing focus compared to form.Show().... but I cannot see this behavior....

Hello Robin, it freezes right after the script is launched through the icon. It does not log anything into the log file while freezing - other than the system is not responding. I've reduced the script to the Form with a button that does nothing. This mini script works in 9094 but is sufficient to c...

Hello Robin, to align my mount, I rely on the "no polaris - no problem" script, as posted in this forum. Updateing to the latest versions of Sharpcap I have noticed that the execution of the script causes Sharpcap to hang and subsequently crash. To avoid the issue I have reverted to build ...

Hello, yes 70 degrees range should serve you well for RA. ------------------------------------------------------------- Anything relatively close to DEC = 0 works fine. The reason for aiming there is that it spreads out most in the sky. The closer you get to DEC = 90, the less separation there is in...

Hello Zerlolatitude, you shoud look at this post: Regards, Norman Ok here we go. There are two versions. * One without test files which weighs in at just under 1MB https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZqJMommVxVW5BiOOTa2WtEAxZLW6KH4a/view?usp=sharing * the second version with 4 different sets of picture...

Hi Zerolatitude, I put a readme in the zip file to assist with the installation. You need the following basic ingredients for it to work: Sharpcap Pro, ASTAP (plate solver), & R (r-project.org) Then install the practical math library (pracma) in R. This is likely the worst step for technically n...

Hello Fabien, thank you. Here is how I do it.... a) the readyness.. once it's all running you can typically skip this one a+) (optional) I slew the mount East with clutches open and visually check all is pointing in the right direction. (then tighten clutches when ok) b) I go to a bright SE star, do...

Hello Jean-Francois, thank you for the feedback and the in-depth testing. As the weather was good the last few days, I was glad to get some imaging time in. Yes, if one forgets that there are already pictures in the folder from the last session and you choose a lesser number, it will process all. I'...

Hello all, I've updated the download links (with and without test files) with v39 of the script. I've had good success over the past few days with... - 10/10 plate solves - repeatability < 0.1° - no errors (this can't be true :) ) Also added the button to slew East and renamed the readyness button, ...
