Re: DSO focus assist baseline numbers?

I believe the score can change with settings and lower number isn't better than a lower number with different settings. For example, focus with 2 second exposures, gain 200 might result in a focus score of 2.5 at focus position 1234. Then change to 3 second exposures and 300 gain and you might get a...

Re: One Click autofocus

Hi, * have a connected focuser set up * have previously run a focus scan/goto best score successfully. The refocus will use the focus scan settings from your last successful scan/goto best position (including using the same focusing tool that you used). The scan will be centered around your current...

Re: Saving separate darks instead of one averaged

To expand on the above comments. Where he said capture as usual = use the start capture button at the top left. Set everything to match your light frames but leave the lens cap on and make sure no light leaks inside. Capture 20 to 30 photos and name them darks and you're done. Figured some peoples i...

FWHM in live stack vs focus tool

Does the live stack FWHM tab measure the stars the same way as the FWHM multi-star tool? Currently I autofocus every 45 minutes or so and I'm wondering if I can rely on the FWHM tab to tell me if I can wait longer. If my score in the focus tool is a 2.6 would the FWHM tab also show the same image as...

Re: PHD2 stats displayed in blank area of SC

If PHD2 isn't possible maybe just the ability to drag some of the controls from the right side menu into that spot. My mount, focuser, and filter wheel controls would fit nicely. Perhaps also changing the shape of the live stack controls at the bottom would make better usage. (Using the images I pos...

PHD2 stats displayed in blank area of SC

I've always had a large blank area to the right of my image while doing live stacking. Even if I make the live stack menu smaller there is still a blank area to the right of the image that just gets tall and skinny. Would it be possible to have SC display what PHD2 is doing so I can have all the inf...

Re: version 4.0.8334.0 sequencer bug

Here is the camera profile file. I did update to 4.0.8365 today and so far the problem is gone. I loaded the same sequence and profiles and it's running smoothly now. I'll post the log if it acts up again.

Re: version 4.0.8334.0 sequencer bug

For number one can you tell me where the file is located? I couldn't find it. I assume it's a text file of some sort. I'll upload that and then get you the new log asked for in number 2 next time I image.

version 4.0.8334.0 sequencer bug

Asi2600mm-pro. I was running a little sequence tonight and noticed it wouldn't change profiles to autofocus. The profile 2600_Ha_image is a 180seconds and 100 gain. The profile 2600_ha_autofocus is 5seconds and 250 gain. When it reached the step to load the profile "2600_Ha_autofocus" the ...
