Re: The SharpCap Deep Sky Sequence Planner

Hi Robin,
May I humbly suggest using a dithering interval based on number of frames vs. the current number of seconds? Easier to work with I think.

Re: Image Controls

Robin, that helps a lot. Point 2 corrected my thinking. Did not realize the preprocessing applied to saved data when not live stacking. (individual raw frames to be clear) as well, thought that was only for the live-stacked image. Good to know! Need to remember this in case I do straight captures. A...

Darks can only save in .png format
