Thanks a lot!

Hi, I used SharpCap zillion times to adjust Celestron AVX mount. N ow, it does not do so with 10 micron. ASTAP plate solves, tells error and SharpCap does not adjust 10 micron. It moves little bit, but not center object. Why? Just side not; 10 micron has two Sync modes for building model. Both modes...

Thanks
I need to experiment.
This is my weakest point so far in astrophotography.
Pictures are ruined because I just cannot get perfect calibration.

Over or under calibration is routinely happens to many astrophotograpers. People try to ignore this and rectify these "blemishes" in post processing. Bad practice! Images will suffer; no matter what. Reason for such cutting corners is that taking traditional dark, flat, dark-flat frames al...

I still struggling with automation.
I have switched to NINA and it works fine. However, NINA does not have some options of SharpCap; especially, live stacking.
Why couldn't we software that combine all these features?

Thanks
Yes, star detection parameters need to be changes

I am getting question marks Instead of FWHM numbers During live-stack.
To fight this, I need log off and on. Or change filter and refocus.
Why does this happens?
Thanks

Hi Robin, I have problem with autofocus in Edit. Here is my sequence 1. Pause Stacking 2. Move filter in position 3 3. Set exposure 5 sec 4. Set Gain 500 5. Autofocus from offset 90 to 90 with 12 steps backlash 0 (I have very good focuser - MoonLite) 6. Set exposure 30s 7. Set Gain 121 8. Resume Liv...

Hi, yes, the locking of the controls during the sequence is deliberate, since changing things like the exposure or gain during a sequence could mess up the results. Unfortunately it is difficult to change the code to allow the stretch, etc to be available while leaving the other controls locked, bu...

Hi Robin,

Very informative!
I will try with "Promp". However, I will mainly use automation, when I leave rig capturing photos and I am sleeping.
Terrific weather is coming, I will try all these configurations.
Thanks a lot!

All the best!
