Thanks Robin,

Note the "stock" images approach for framing is not my choice - using the real ones per Step 1 is. (helps with phases of moon also).

Looking forward to hear any other perspectives.

Cheers,

Hi Robin, I have a Pegasus Falcon V2 on my refractor now and would like to be able to easily handle framing of targets - whether DSO or the Solar System. I looked at another platform and they place a rectangle based on your camera resolution, aperture and focal length against a library image of the ...

Thanks Robin,

I got a reply from Optec that they have an option to change the position readout from steps, to mm to microns which I didn't know. I must have moused over the position field and it changed the readout to something other than steps.

Update on the second repeatability step.
1. Do step 1 above
2. Tell Focuslynx to go to 48590
3. Start SC, connect to camera and check focuser position in SC and it is 45417 (not 51890).

Thanks,
Ken

Hi, I have a recent issue with SC and Feathertouch Focuslynx being out of sync. I am on SC (64) 4.1.12128 and Windows 11 with Feathertouch FTX40 focuser Steps to produce. 1. Wind the focuser all the way in and use Focuslynx to sync to 0 position. Exit Focuslynx. 2. Start SC and check focus position ...

Thanks Robin - I realized later I was using my full frame camera instead of my APS-C ZWO (on its way to Texas for the eclipse). I will adjust the memory settings.

Hi, I am using the latest version of 4.1 (64bit) 11947 and I have been doing some stacking work on the moon. While in stacking mode Sharpcap crashes when pressing Save to PNG and a couple of times when I turned of imaging brightness check box. Attached is my log from the last crash. I will start it ...

Corner case - planetary imaging suggestion. I have a 2415mm Dall Kirkham reflector and when I use my ASI678MC (2mu) camera the platesolve has a lot of misses but with my ASI2600 (3.76mu) it works well. In the description notes on the tool it mentions that for >2000mm scopes the use of an APS-C level...

Hi Robin, I tested the Live Planetary Stacking and had some great results with it - many thanks for the feature. There was a problem when resizing the stacked ROI area in the tool - blew up Sharpcap and it said it would send a report back to the SC mothership. That repeated a few times so I hope you...

Close the loop here - it was the power supply.

Thanks,
Ken
