Re: New Offset mount & recenter feature

Re: Canon CR2

Thanks Robin. If the ASCOM driver is to deliver the images directly to SC then I am really excited.Thanks so much for adding this enhancement. My issue is with jpg (and reduced image quality) being the only option currently available with my Canon 6D.

Thanks !

Re: Polar alignment by Folder monitor camera

AussieHowie - Thanks so much for the informative reply. I now have it reading the monitored folder as it should. The CWB idea is a good one that I will need to test out. Sounds like a real time saver in the field. Thanks again

Re: Polar alignment by Folder monitor camera

I know this thread is several months old but I am trying to get monitored folder to work with my Canon 6d. Has a method for doing this been discovered or developed?
Thanks for your help
