Re: New Feature : Planetary Live Stacking

Robin, great update!! Thanks!!!

I see you have the option to save as AVI but yet I cannot load an AVI into Sharpcap for this live stacking feature. Is this a bug?

Re: New Feature : Planetary Live Stacking

Robin, really cool feature you gave us!!! Any chance you can get this to run on saved AVI files too vs only SER?

P.S. This tool would be amazing if it could do derotation :D


Regards,

Bill

Re: I made an Arduino Focuser :)

Robin, Will your code work on a Arduino Nano/shield? I have a design from a few years ago using a Nano with a PCB I designed for a single motor controller. It was originally supposed to work with the MyFocuserPro2 project but I gave up on it. It would be nice to test this out but using a Nano as it ...

Re: Live Stacking Ideas

Robin, I was able to do more testing on this feature last night and once again I want to say thanks for all your hard effort to get this to work in SharpCap! :D I would like to report a few things and share some video but I dont want to post it on this forum yet until I can get some clarification fr...

Re: Live Stacking Ideas

Robin, I have been working on a video on this focusing method and almost done, but one thing I have to do is manually offset the focus start position in order to get a full curve. Example, say I move the focuser to a place close to focus, if I set my focus steps at say 5 with a total of 16 positions...

Re: Live Stacking Ideas

Robin, have you run the NINA autofocus routine while using overshoot, or the same using the ASIAir so that you can streamline the autofocus routine in sharpcap i.e. a one click operation as they do? Have you done any videos on how to set this up because I still find this a nightmare to deal with. If...

Re: Live Stacking Ideas

I tried the autofocus routine last night and didn't like it at all. I don't understand why the settings are the way they are in sharpcap autofucus routine while some seems to be embedded within sharpcap so I could not change them. It was trying to do over 35 focusing steps which is overkill. This ro...

Re: Live Stacking Ideas

Robin, it would be worth a shot to at least have the option and test, so awesome news!!! The cool thing is, the median at say 10 frames or even 5 frames in memory stack would help with satellites but not so much for noise, but the live stacking which uses the memory stack would be in your current de...

Re: Live Stacking Ideas

Robin, thank you very much for responding, and I completely understand where you are at on all this. Dealing with PC memory is very tricky. Sounds like in order to improve sigma clipping an allocation to Ram or hard drive memory would be needed, which I think could be a good idea. Makes me wonder if...

Live Stacking Ideas

Robin, 1) Could you add "median" as a stacking option versus just having average? 2) For rejection method, any possibilities to add other rejection features, like MAD, or linear fit clipping, ESD? 3) Regarding the FWHM and brightness charts, could you add the ability to show the file name ...
