Hi, yes, the up/down/left/right is Alt/Az directions - they go a bit weird near the celestial pole and I'm not sure I understand why, but they are OK for the vast majority of the sky. Hope I got them the right way round as haven't had clear sky to check yet, so it is all based on the mathematics :) ...

Hi, two things to check... 1) use the 'reset all' button in the star detection settings to put default values back in case something has been changed Capture.JPG 2) check that you are not usign a display stretch in either live stacking or the mini histogram that may be brightening the image enough f...

Hi, looking at the settings you are using in SharpCap, some of them seem a little odd White Bal (B)=2 White Bal (G)=1 White Bal (R)=1 Gamma=1.12 Setting gamma to anything other than 1.00 applies a non-linear stretch to the image before it gets to SharpCap - that's a bad thing for deep sky imaging (b...

Ah yes, I did that one but forgot to come back here and say - glad you liked it

Hi Derek,

sounds good - did you also reduce the 'max dither step' in the SharpCap settings?

cheers,

I have just been improving the pixel readout feature (both with this in mind and also because seeing the directions of RA/Dec etc has helped me iron out some bugs in the code).

Here's what it looks like now - not sure if it will be helpful or not
