That’s amazing - thank you so much Robin

Hi Robin,
I downloaded the latest version of both SharpCap & the Altair drivers (incl the ASCOM driver) today - only option was the 8bit or 16bit
Hope this helps
Andy

Thanks for clarifying Robin, Like a duffer, I used the native Altair driver which didn’t give me the option to engage ultra low noise mode. So I re-ran the sensor analysis today after using the ASCOM driver that had that feature - or will that not make any difference due to how SharpCap averages out...

Hi guys, I’ve ran the sensor analysis earlier today & managed to get out tonight between the clouds to run the optimal exposure calculator. I’ve ran it against 3 different types of filter: L, RGB & 7Nm NB filters. The camera is an Altair Astro 26M & SharpCap is saying that my optimum gai...

Cheers Robin, Had the standard version for years but only now realised how functionally rich it is. The PA routine, smart histogram & sensor analysis have changed my imaging forever. I'm lucky enough to be shooting 40sec exposures through a 125mm Altair apo & the mighty hypercam 26c. Unbelie...

Hi Robin, I've got an existing pro licence from an Altair camera purchase. I am aware that they are only valid for the specific camera(s) so have bought a further licence ( I wanted to use an ioptron ipolar guidecamera for PA. My question is whether there is a way (and a cost) to buy a perpetual lic...

Hi Robin,
thanks for the response that's exceptionally useful - wasn't aware that the graph in the brain would give me the exposure length by gain - very very useful.
200 gain it is then!
Cheers

Hi guys, Ive changed my config a bit & re-ran the smart histogram, only this time my interest is in maximising the dynamic range rather than gain given that the ultra mode gain is 100. The smart histogram recommended that I use a gain of 200 - which kind of defeats the object of running ultra mo...

Perfect thanks Robin - just wanted to check as it seems too good to be true.
Cheers
Andy

Hi all, After performing sensor analysis on my Altair 26C in ultra mode, last night I wanted to find what my optimum exposure time would be so I ran the smart histogram. It came up with some data that I'd like your opinion on as I'm certain it's not correct - it's telling me that with my L pro max f...
