Re: Deep Sky image annotation for asteroids
HI If you like/want, I can gladly do some preliminary tests if needed (weather permitting! It's been raining for months...) Some easy bright asteroids in opposition in May (27) Euterpe Mag=10.3 (80) Sappho Mag=11.1 (56) Melete Mag=11.0 (2) Pallas Mag=9.0 https://minorplanetcenter.net/iau/Ephemerides...

Re: Deep Sky image annotation for asteroids
If SharpCap generated ephemeris it would be wonderful ! The MPCORB.DAT file may already be present on our computer if someone already works with asteroids and there is no need to download it. If you want to image an asteroid among the first thousands, the orbital elements are now known and if they c...

Re: Deep Sky image annotation for asteroids
Astap, where having done plate solving and searched for asteroids, can save the FIT file by adding the data of the asteroids found in the image in the header. Below is an excerpt from the header with the list of asteroids COMMENT 7 Solved in 0,1 sec. Offset 0,9". Mount offset RA = 18,8', DEC=-8...

Re: Deep Sky image annotation for asteroids
HI First of all, let's remember that asteroids move more or less quickly depending on the moment of opposition or due to a close passage. I download from the site https://www.minorplanetcenter.net/data the MPCORB.DAT file containing the orbital parameters of 1,360,537 asteroids to date ! For this pu...

Re: Deep Sky image annotation for asteroids
Yes, thanks, I saw your script
Extracting coordinates from Skymap and formatting them manually for Sharpcap takes more time (and a source of errors to do things by hand at night) than opening Astap and loading a FIT
Thanks

Reticule color
Hi The crosshair function is very useful; I usually use red "crosshairs" and "circle". Sometimes with weak star fields the red color is too strong and the ideal would be to be able to have it less bright and thinner if it were possible; even a very dark gray would be fine Thanks ...

Deep Sky image annotation for asteroids
Hi I use SkyMapPro 11 for object tracking and SharpCap for EAA shooting; I feel great with the Deep Sky Image Annotation function I shoot "weak" asteroids that require many exposures, even long ones, and before starting I have to be sure that the field of view is the correct one. I know ve...

FITS TELESCOPE HEADER
Hi I use different telescopes depending on the field of view I want. In Menu FILE /SHARPCAP SETTING / SAVING : FITS TELESCOPE HEADER I can enter the name of the telescope in use, for example: ASTRO-PHYSICS 105 TRAVELER EDF It would be wonderful to be able to choose the name of the telescope from a d...

Re: SharpCap Pro - New Pricing April 2024
HI
I already have a lifetime license, do I have to do anything?
Thank you
Carlo

Re: Sequenced LRGB/refocus/mono-cam live stacking
We also consider ASTAP's capabilities to do just that, including live control of a folder
