Hi Tim, Please read the intro of my post above which perhaps clarifies the discrepancy concerning colors. M41 is very different than M44 even though they share the same name "Beehive". The five stars that form a pentagon are yellow stars with no blue but you would be correct if it had been...

Hi Robin,

Last evening I tried out the focusing using the Bahtinov mask as requested, and everything appeared to work out fine. But another problem popped up. Under SC captures there was no log present for each of the acquisitions taken that evening. Maybe I unchecked something?

Hi Robin, I had once asked you that question in the past and considering now that you are devoting full time to SC, I'm hoping your answer would be "perhaps in the future" or "I'm thinking about it". I like to see SC as an all inclusive program where we do not have to resort to a...

Thanks Tim.

I continued from where I had left off using the very top photo as...

Hi Robin,

This occurred using versions 4.0.7529.0 and 4.0.7572.0. No best fit curve was produced...only triangles. Prior to version 4.0 there were no issues. As you said it may be too strict. With this information, please let me know if you still need a screen shot to evaluate further.

Hi Robin, When using the "Focus Assistance Tools" applying either "Contrast Edge Detection" or "Bahtinov Mask" in SC Pro beta version, the "Best Score" and the "Best Position" doesn't function. In other words, upon completion of focusing, when I clic...

Thanks Robin...very clear.

Hi Robin,

In my case, it is 1.0 arcsec/pixel and with a default of 20 would make it a 20 pixel movement. Maybe I should change the default to 10. What do you think? What other parameters do you recommend changing?
