I will be shocked if this one hasn't already been suggested, but I can't figure out how to search "just" the Feature Suggestions thread for previous entries. In my opinion, it would be helpful to implement three-star polar alignment in SharpCap, so that mounts can be polar aligned easily w...

Hello, Some post-processing tools, such as PixInsight, can automatically sort captured frames into appropriate processing bins based upon the value of the FRAMETYP Fits Header keyword. When using tools such as Capture Dark and Capture Flat, SharpCap "knows" what types of frames are being c...

That does it!

Thank you!

Hi, Robin, I've been bitten similarly twice, recently (yes, advancing years)!. I'm using SharpCap 4.1. I implemented the Python snippet you described previously in this thread. SharpCap failed to execute the script, with the Python console saying that the "LiveStackTransform" object has no...

Is this expected behavior?

I knew that would be a useful thing for SharpCap to do

Thanks for the pointer, Robin!

I realize this would be a convenience thing, but add an option to the Goto Coordinates tool to ingest a provided image, plate solve its location, and go to that location. This would help with returning to a consistent location for a second (or third, or fourth, etc.) imaging session. The first step ...

Robin,

Thanks much!

I'll give the first two suggestions a shot for now. If these don't work, I'll try SharpCap 4.1 Beta.

Hello, all, For current imaging of DSOs such as M51 and M101, I'm using an FRA 500 90-mm refractor, configured with a Tele Vue 2x Powermate. This provides an effective focal length of 1012 mm, f = 11.24. I use a ZWO ASI533MC Pro camera, 3.76 micron pixels, 3008 x 3008, field of view with the given t...
