Hi Robin, It's taken a little while but I thought I would reply to close this out. The issue was 100% user error and exactly what you suspected, I was way off with the position of my mount. The problem is that its has been months since I have been in the observatory and I had totally forgotten that ...

Thanks Robyn,

Appreciate the reply.

Let me have another go to make sure I've explained clearly: * Any colour balance/brightness/contrast/gamma controls in the right-hand panel (except for the mini histogram stretch) affect the frame data before it even gets to SharpCap...

Hi Robin, Appreciate the explanation, so I am clear (your last sentence in brackets) once a new frame is added to the stacked image, any changes to white balance, brightness will be added to the overall stack not just the display copy? I noticed that SharpCap will automatically save FIT's of each su...

Hi Robin, I know this is an old post but I am new to all of this. I have spent my time trying all the imaging software available and have settled on SharpCap Pro for my planetary and DSO imaging. Overall, for me it seems like the best and most comprehensive package so I use it from the start of a se...
