Re: Added magnification when trying to view the sun

I just checked and indeed you will have only a part of the sun on monitor with your telescope and camera combination. On the screenshot below that's roughly the dark blue rectangle. It's called a FOV (Field Of View). There is nothing you can do with software to change that. But there is a piece of h...

Re: Added magnification when trying to view the sun

Hello and welcome.

I assume you mean a camera when you mention "SharpCap eyepiece attachment"?
If so, a camera view will always be different from a visual view. This is depending of the sensor size and pixel size of that sensor.
So could you please tell what camera you do have?

Re: Collimation Aid for SCT's

The Circle Reticule has multiple rings in it. The first screenshot is the ring when activated. The second one I made smaller with dragging the mouse with the right mouse button pressed. Just don't make the de-focused star too bright and the circles show with good contrast than. Menno ring1.jpg ring2...

Re: Collimation Aid for SCT's

It already has it ... sort of :) I always use the Circle Reticule for that. There is no active indication of how good or bad the collimation is, but you can adjust the circles radius (drag with right mouse button pressed) to divide it fitting the de-focused star. See this screenshot. The red lines a...

Thanks Robin and Dave!

Robin: that is my own fault I see now. Too much stretching. Somehow missed that completely :?

ARP 299: colliding galaxies NGC 3690 and IC 694

Hi all After 5 months of doing nothing (clouds and personal circumstances), I decided to capture ARP 299 again. It's nice and high now plus I still had all the data from 2021. See my posting from 2021 with info and details about the object. The original calibration files were lost though :( so had t...

Re: Preview Release 4.1.11890

can someone send me a private message regarding how to post a question on this forum? I just joined and frankly, can not find a way to post a new question. I am having a problem with SharpCap just downloaded. There is no view of my target in the live view, or quick capture. I am desperate to get he...

Re: NGC 7129 in NIRGB, NIR and RGB

Hi Tim As I understand it, these MHO objects mentioned in that article are only (or mostly) showing in NIR. They knew about HH objects in visual and Ha but they discovered HH objects in NIR that were surrounded by dust. That is at least what I understand from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbig%E2%...

Re: Two Monitor View

Hello and welcome

You mention you use SharpCap 4.0.9538.0. There is a new version now (4.1) where a lot of things have changed and updated.
Could you try and install the latest version and see if that fixes your problem?
It can be found on https://www.sharpcap.co.uk/sharpcap/downloads
