Hi Robin,

great that you are looking into this topic.
I do volunteer to test things if you want someone to look at it

I also second this request. It would be a great feature to support collimation of SC especially. There is a Github project called Tri-Bahtinov grabber https://github.com/1CM69/Tri-Bahtinov_Grabber It looks like this project is not active anymore and there are no executables but only source code. May...

Hi a few days ago I did use ConeSharp to measure my cone error for my new Avalon Linear mount and the mounted Mead 8" SC. The result was very positive ConeSharpResult.png Almost too good to believe or is it not? I was wondering if I did the alignment step as it should be. In step 4 and step 6 I...

Cheers I have some current issue with plate solving. When I try to plate solve images shot with my RisingCam I mostly get a failure, in the sense that no solving was possible. I get then the typical error msg reduce/increase exposure and/or gain something in that line. However I did a simple test. I...

Cheers I do have a pretty standard setup, a 8" SC, 2000mm FL and a 240mm FL guide scope on top. I do use the guide scope for polar alignment and for guiding. In the settings dialog one can specify the FL to speed up plate solving Anmerkung 2022-02-10 153303.png Now I can either specify 240mm fo...

sure, will do.
Thanks for looking into it

For me no big problem.

Cheers last night I had a crash of SharpCap. Unfortunately I did not have internet connection so the crash report was not sent. I am attaching the crash report here for your analysis. The crash happened when I was editing the Start Capture window. I think I was entering a number into the field for t...

Cheers I have been doing a sensor analysis of my RisingCam ATR3017000KPA color camera, Sony IMX 432 C sensor. I did two runs with (a) offset = 0 SensorAnalysis_IMX432_12bit_0degree_offset0.png (b) offset = 40 SensorAnalysis_IMX432_12bit_0degree_offset40.png I see significant difference between these...

Thanks for your explanations
I think I need to get my head around units to understand this better.

Hi Robin, are you saying that your formula does not require the offset to be taken into account since the sky brightness is measured? ok, that means that if the sky brightness is measured it is done with a given offset. Then I would expect that the calculation of the sky brightness does somehow take...
