I too think this would be super helpful!!

I fully agree that it would be desirable to be able to "Put the target name in, hit "enter," and it would use that folder for any saved stacks from then on. With that functionality, you could put the target name in either before or after you start live stacking and any saved stacks wo...

Hi Robin,

I suspected that something like that would be the case for binning. Thanks for considering using ROI for darks at some point.

Hi Robin, I just noticed that all of the Darks I take are saved in .png format instead of .fits format. This seems to happen even if I turn off Auto for Output Format and specifically specify .fits output format, and seems to happen for both RAW8 and RAW16 color space. But the Sharpcap 3.2 User Manu...
