I was messing with the new BETA 3.3 and noticed that I cannot use the target crosshair icon to do an ASTAP plate solve. Is this feature relocated somewhere else?

It would be a fantastic tool. I just got a rasa and if there is tilt, at least one corner will have a donut hole star. Havving realtime views of all 4 corners would make adjusting tilt a breeze.

Ive been curious about polar alignment accuracy in this regard. I wonder how far away from polaris you can polar align via plate solve before a noticeable drop in performance occurs.

I have looked forwards to a sequencer for a long time. Im eager to test this beta mode out. One thing sharpcap could benefit from and separate itself form any other acquisition program is to refine its ability to do lucky imaging in the sequencer. For example, if you wanted to lucky image M51 with a...

Being able to sample the four corners of the sensor in a video feed would allow you to see if there is sensor tilt and also fine tune the primary in a newtonian. I have a RASA on the way, being able to have a split realtime video feed of its corners would make collimation adjustments easy, especiall...

with this feature "More than doubled performance in seeing monitor frame analysis"

Is this only offered as a readout tool? Can the seeing or fwhm be written in the fits header of an image as it is recorded?

I would like to suggest a new collimation tool which would be very quick and intuitive. I believe the current collimation tool is nice for fine tuning collimation after say a meridian flip, but for crude rapid adjustment we need something more simple especially for fast reflector optics. What I am s...
