SharpCap Forums

Since SharpCap is getting used more and more for Deep Sky Objects, I would like to propose to implement the following headers (all readily available in SharpCap). OBJECT = 'M27 ' / Target Description RA: (Mandatory) Right ascension in degrees (not hours) (i.e. 225.211545) DEC: (Mandatory) Declinatio...

Do you know how can I avoid the 2 bright spaces on the surface of the Sun as it appears in the up right and down left off the attached picture? Thank you! Hello!
