I would like to suggest that on the x-axis of the DISPLAY HISTOGRAM STRETCH putting fixed tick marks, or even vertical lines at 25%, 50% and 75% as an aid to rough/preliminary setting of exposures.

OK I will look at that tonight. Out of interest, APT and my DSLR reports virtually the same numbers as SharCap. RonP

Has anyone seen this issue before? I have connected a Moonlite focuser into my system. But the position readings reported in SharpCap differ quite a lot from that shown on the Moonlite stand-alone virtual pad. [For example 3100 v 2040] I believe that SharpCap does nothing with the data sent from the...

Thanks Robin- seems to work well. When I built my first [lousey] telescope back in 1956, I could never have imagined the level of functionality we amateurs have these days. I am very grateful and don't take it for granted.

Excellent news thanks. I was confused, because on the one hand I had read statements that the EFW did not need an ASCOM driver, yet on the other it did [to do what I wanted] I will go to the link and hopefully be unconfused. Thanks.

Please, for the avoidance of doubt;
Am I wasting my time trying to find a way to change focus by a designated amount each time I issue a change filter instruction ?
I have Sharpcap PRO, Moonlite CS focuser, ZWO EFW Filter wheel, ZWO ASI224MC.

I have a couple of elementary questions, which I ask simply for the avoidance of doubt. I have obtained a Moonlite CS focuser for my Meade LX200 SCT. This focuser has a temperature sensor which attaches to the OTA. SharpCap/ASCOM requires that I input a temperature coefficient, that is, the number o...

Venus is not conveniently positioned at the moment, and the weather has not been kind to me either. So I cannot promise a histogram example yet. But Venus detail is often best seen at a time when the background sky level is not negligible [except in Ultra Violet] So the histogram appears to take the...

[1] Is there a way to remove or largely remove the background contribution to a planetary histogram? My histograms usually show a peak at both black and white ends. I assume that the background sky helps form the left side peak and the planet the right hand one. At present I clip off the histogram t...

Due to recent "events" I have fallen out with my Internet and changed it. Simultaneously I have had to change laptops. To continue with SharpCap Pro, I need to change my e-mail address, but can find no way of doing this. I do not have access to any original correspondence [see above!].How ...
