A feature I would find useful is in addition to the 'Auto' choice in the zoom drop down list there is also a 'Width' and 'Height' choice that automatically sizes the view window to fit the width or height of the sensor to the available viewing space. For example, I have a ASI533MC camera with a squa...

Hi Robin! Since SharpCap 4.1is in final polishing mode, thought I would bring up a very minor GUI nit I have seen for awhile. Hopefully easy to fix. At the very bottom of the SharpCap window when opened, there is an info strip that has 3 sections at the left: 1st starts with 'Previewing:', 2nd with ...

When I start Sharpcap with these settings and the light on, it looks like this: Start1.png When I open the 'Capture...

Hi Robin, Tried the new night vision colour template and it looks good for out in the dark, but lately I've been an armchair astronomer and decided (at least inside) I like the original views. After trying the new view, I switched back to the original and found that the title bars of the Camera Cont...

Hi Robin, Just read an intriguing article on the Siril website here: https://siril.org/2021/12/enough-with-dark-flats/ about using a constant instead of a dark or bias image with flat frames.
