Re: 178m Time-Lapse setup ...

I finally got it.

Still playing with it.

I guess one has to get into Robin';s mind - of course we all think differently.

Thank you for this great program or application, as the new Century wish to call it!

Re: 178m Time-Lapse setup ...

... I now just noticed the Advance edit button which takes me to the full sequencer setup and already pre-set and I can see I can choose 8 bit. I still do not see in the sequencer, PAUSE time and set Hor/Vert of the image. I am still thick but I now see the WAIT command in the Miscellaneous tab - th...

178m Time-Lapse setup ...

Hi I am testing. I was trying to set the program for time-lapse, but I guess I am too thick! So, I opted for Still mode as I also did not manage (yet) to work out the Sequencer as well. I am using the Deep Sky Sequence Planner, it does work fine but when I got there I found that (understandably) the...

Re: QHY 294c Pro and profile - some problems

Hello Thanks for your reply. I forgot to reply to you at the time. My astronomy has always been kind of intermittent - I get interrupted so often and I may leave things half-way and to think I am not even that kind of person, but it seems life gets too much in the middle !!! Yes, the 47M is kind of ...

Re: Newtonian Mask

Hi Anybody have a copy of the Maskulator that can be shared here? I am going insane now, a 'popular' programme as Bahtinov Mask was and still is but they disappear from the internet 'somewhat' (I do not wish to speculate on why!). Why is it everybody tend to post 'dead' links and not the actual .exe...

Re: QHY 294c Pro and profile - some problems

I emailed Robin all LOG files 5-6 Aug 2022 to see. It seems working fine now after I installed 64bit and latest one - I had previous version of SharpCap. It seems it has fixed the initial disconnections. I still have the pop-up telling me it cannot load camera profile. I even re-saved it, same thing...
