Re: What's new in SharpCap this week... 27th June 2022

Re: What's new in SharpCap this week... 27th June 2022

Robin when I tried the new goto feature I could not get past the first plate solve. I tried both ASTAP and All Sky. They both failed.

I then opened the same fits file in ASTAP directly and it solved in a few seconds.

Re: Multiple night returning to the same location

Robin, I'm looking to write a small utility program that would slew the mount based on the RA and DEC values you write into the FITS header. I've got the mount part using the ASCOM libraries for C#. Just wondering if there are any C# libraries for reading the FITS header, or could you post a bit of ...

Re: Multiple night returning to the same location

Just doing some multi-night images on the same target and still wishing for this functionality. I would be great to pick a Sharpcap generated fits image from the night before, grab the RA and DEC from the header and issue a command for the mount to slew. It appears you are already sending slew comma...

Re: Multiple night returning to the same location

I know that the RA and DEC are in the fits file but getting those into either Stellarium or the mount ASCOM interface is a pain. They all seem to use different coordinate units. Your software is already sending commands to the mount so I was thinking open a window with a list of previous live stacks...

Re: Histogram showing saturated pixels more clearly

How about a number that shows the percentage of pixels in saturation. Maybe a stats window to show some numbers from the last capture.

Multiple night returning to the same location

I normally select my targets on Stellarium but when I image a target on multiple nights sometimes its hard to get back to exact spot the next night. It would be nice to have a separate list of the RA and DEC for the live stacks. Then have the ability to select from that list and send the mount a go ...
