Re: New Feature : Moon Mosaic Planner
Hi Mike, I have a simulated camera that draws the current phase of the moon onto an image based on focal length, pixel size, co-ordinates, etc that I can use for testing - in that, it works with a 1920x1080 3.75 micron pixel camera at 2800mm, which is just a bit smaller than the 3840x2160x2 micron o...

Re: AllSky cameras (round 2)
Hi Peter,
yep, link all working now - a really good video, well done! Now all we need is to have a *proper* meteor storm - that would be an all-sky video worth having
cheers,
Robin

Aurora
Wow! After waiting over 30 years to see a naked-eye aurora, not only do we get one here in Oxfordshire, but it's naked-eye visible right at the zenith... None of this 'a bit of a glow on the northern horizon' lark. As well as getting outside and taking some photos with my phone camera, I had the all...

Re: Problem with livestacks - dark subtraction - in EEA
Hi, interesting that you use so many darks - I did some maths a week or two back to try to work out how many dark frames were actually needed to avoid them contributing to the overall final noise level. The preliminary results were interesting, but then I realised that I didn't account for how good ...

Re: Version 4.1 plate solving issues
Hi, the settings look pretty much fine, so it's a bit odd. The message about XYLIST ties in with not enough stars detected. I would suggest getting it working in 4.0, then use snapshot to save a frame with the same settings. Try the same in 4.1, also snapshot - now we have two images saved (one work...

Re: AllSky cameras (round 2)
Hi Peter, I'm guessing that is a link to an all-sky aurora capture :) (sadly the link doesn't work for me - just says 'this content isn't available at the moment'). I'd suggest trying your link from another browser where you aren't logged into facebook - you can then see the problem and tinker with ...

Re: Import Settings
Hi,
could you send me the settings zip file that is causing the problem please (by email - use the contact us link at the bottom of the page). Also good to know exactly what version of SharpCap you are using.
thanks,
Robin

Re: Exclude outlier pixel values when creating master dark frame
Hi,
yes, data corruption would probably get excluded too, as the random corrupted values will be a long way from the normal mean value for those particular pixels.
cheers,
Robin

Re: Feature tracking bug when switching from 8-bit to 16-bit
Hi,
OK, yes, I have just tested and see this too - it looks like it is connected to the 'background level' setting, as putting that to zero gives better results (no longer top left corner). I will investigate.
cheers,
Robin

Re: New Feature : Moon Mosaic Planner
Hi Mike, thanks for the feedback - I think I am planning to do most changes to the auto alignment as that tends to be the most accurate (as you noted, the manual only really works for 2 or 3 panel mosaics where you can see a fair bit of the moon to get the alignment right). Looking at your screensho...
