Hi,

thanks for taking the time to make a set of translation files for Portuguese - I have replied to the email you sent with more information on how to get the files to me.

Hi, thanks for including the log with additional focus communication logging! What I can see is that the focuser ASCOM driver is responding normally to pretty much every request sent to it (checking position, temperature, status, etc), but is responding with the helpful error of 'Move failure' every...

Hi, currently the only slowdown possible is the checkbox for 1/4 speed, although in theory it would be possible to add 1/16 speed or similar I guess. You can also increase the calibration distance, which should go up to about 40% of the height of the image - so about 400 for a 1280x960 image. Does a...

Capture with the 678 would probably also be fine, but I wouldn't expect planetary live stacking to be any good on that CPU. If you can find somethi...

Hi, well, that all sounds fine then. We will have to wait until the next update to work out what is going on. Note that you don't actually get much when you do show the setup window for Pegasus devices that are working via Unity - all that pops up is a device chooser window so that you can choose th...

Hi Menno,

lovely images and an informative write-up too. It makes you wonder about what happened to create so may Wolf-Rayet stars that they can be clearly seen from such a distance!

cheers,

Lovely images!

I wonder what it would look like if you combined them into a hubble palette type image? Pretty psychedelic I should imagine!

cheers,
