Hi,
congratulations on getting such good images of the ISS - it's not a target I have tried, but I went to a talk about how it is done earlier this year, so I know what a difficult target it is!

Re: Solar Mosaic 1st Attempt!
Hi Carl, nice work and good to hear that the mosaic tool worked well for you :) A good point on the overlap being in % terms being a clearer way to present it - I will have a look into that. I don't recall needing such a big overlap when I was stitching the mosaic, but I was using Affinity2, which m...

Re: ADV formats capture Error
Hi, can you save a few frames to SER and send me the camera settings file that gets created please? Those settings should be the same as the ones that cause the crash in ADV. I have just tested with a QHY camera here and see no problems with creating an ADV file, so I think it will be something spec...

Re: Exposure Starting Point
Hi, if you really want to attack it from a scientific viewpoint, it's possible to do, but would rely on data that probably isn't available without trying to measure it yourself. Let me explain... In astro imaging you get three components to the pixel value that comes out in your final image 1) Photo...

Re: Problem with livestacks - dark subtraction - in EEA
Hi, yes, I think the problem was that with SharpCap having dark correction activated, the statistical removal of hot pixels was based purely on the dark frame (it's easier in the dark frame - no stars to worry about). That's fine on the assumption that the hot pixels remain pretty constant and has w...

Re: Source of polar alignment error in SharpCap?
Hi Mike, the first place to start would be to take a look at this if you haven't : https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#I%20get%20the%20wrong%20results%20%E2%80%93%20SharpCap%20says%20my%20Polar%20Alignment%20is%20great%20after%20adjustment%2C%20but%20it%20isn%E2%80%99t!

Re: New mount and how to connect sharpcap
Hi John, I am guessing you have this setup : https://rowanengineering.com/products/a20631200a From the instructions it looks like it will accept LX200 data over the network, as you suggested. In theory, that would allow someone to write an ASCOM driver for it by taking an existing LX200 driver and s...

Re: New mount and how to connect sharpcap
Hi, ouch, that sounds like a tricky one to solve... There are plenty of ASCOM drivers out there for the Meade protocol, but they all assume that they will be talking to a serial port (or perhaps a USB one) rather than communicating over WIFI. Can you confirm what device you have that controls your m...

Re: Moravian Instruments C1x/C3-61000 and 26000
Hi,
no problem - SharpCap has no way to find out which filter the camera is on, so it has to put it to a known filter (zero) and then keep track of the movements. However, if there are no filters then no need to do that!
cheers,
Robin
