Hi Robin, thank you for your last reply. I had another go a few nights ago and although I still didn't note the exact settings in Multi-star FWHM I found that when using my mono camera (ASI294MMPro) that the focus routine was able to detect plenty of stars when I had a luminance filter, but it faile...

Hi, I have been successfully using this tool for several months to focus on stars in the same field of view as a DSO prior to Live Stacking. However, on my last imaging session I had trouble with the tool and yet I am not aware that I changed any settings in SharpCap (black level, noise, etc.) or in...

Hi Robin, thanks and I think I get it now. I initially tried the full uncropped resolution in live stacking mode, but the download time seemed a little long. I am connecting the camera via the USB3 port of my laptop, but perhaps I need to adjust the USB speed (although high speed mode is already tic...

Sorry for the dumb question.
Regards,
Mike
