Re: Mount control by Sharpcap
Dont mean to hijack this thread but....
Does sharpcap adjust for DST in regards to mount/goto control?
In other words should I have my mounts (cem26) hand controller DST setting turned on or off by default for accurate goto's?
Thx.

Re: LiveStacking on-screen display issue
Hi Robin, I have one additional cal frame question. I was under the impression from our conversation that no SC 'preprocessing' dark/flat frames were applied to raw saved stack images for use in later postprocessing. However, it clearly states in the 'flat frame' docs section that if you apply a 'pr...

Re: LiveStacking on-screen display issue
Thanks Robin, I did redo my 200g/120s dark frame with a new 20 offset (brightness) and ran it without issue. As you described, the 'live stack' 20 offset camera setting used with the zwo default 70 offset dark frame was indeed the culprit. I read all over the forums that the 20-30 offset range is op...

Re: LiveStacking on-screen display issue
Thanks for your reply and clarification Robin. I also meant to ask is there any condition in livestack 'settings' (that I manage to screw up) that would compromise the rawfile subs? or will they always be clean (no cal frames/adjustments) applied. Update: I just reran the folder monitor with the 200...

Re: LiveStacking on-screen display issue
I did notice that I used the wrong dark but when I selected the dark file, it defaulted to the correct 120s directory, but you can clearly see it used the default startup profiles 5s dark Just to be clear, is there any condition that will apply cal frames to you your raw subs during a livestack sess...

LiveStacking on-screen display issue
Greetings, I have tried 2 times unsuccessfully to 'see' any on-screen dso target using live stack. The screen appears linear and when I do an auto-stretch, I get a more detailed star field but no nebula data. The histogram levels also appear flat in nature with no noticeable 'usual' hump. I'm using ...

Re: Sharpcap and Stellarium
Ubetcha, I have been checking for used parts every other day as this is my only option to replacing it with another unit but it will still function visually since your always on the focuser adjustment to begin with unlike any AP/EAA stuff, I can just swap the OTA if I wanna go visual, actually much ...

Re: Sharpcap and Stellarium
Hi Robin, Just an FYI on my ed80 debacle. I sent it to ES and they tried but could not fix my focuser. No replacement crayfords in stock and none expected to be produced any longer. They did clean/collimate the OTA but it is a lost cause for any AP functions. Its on its way back to me free of charge...
