Hi Robin,

Thank you for info.

I just changed from Bin3, 3000X3006, to Bin1. The resolution stayed the same: 3000X3006. Shouldn't it change by default back to 3008X3008?

Hi Robin, See attached settings text docs for both light & dark frames for asi533MC camera. (Im using latest SC & asi drivers) Couple of issues: See first doc, light frame: shows binning= 3, capture area= 3000X3006?, yet default for this camera is 3008X3008? Also shows Exposure = 2s?, yet th...

Hi Robin,

I’ve used the new Plate Solve for 3 nights and my initial reaction:

I also noted I can’t retrieve prior night’s live stack log. I’ll try and describe what’s happening, and b...

Hi Robin,

With live stacking the 1st frame, shouldn’t the star detection status info for both stack and frame be the same?

Yet I see differences in both star count and FWHM between the two.

Why is this?

Hi Robin, I continue to have the same problem with plate solve location. It’s slightly off center. See attached photo & log. I’ve tried plate solve & resync, goto catalog target/co-ordinates, pixel position/click to resented, deep sky image annotation and the plate solve button on the right ...

I forgot to mention, with CPWI, I can slew in Stellarium and it automatically updates in CPWI and Sharpcap, but the id info doesn’t populate in Sharpcap automatically, requiring me to remember to manually input. Maybe if the Sharpcap id info could be auto completed, saving key strokes?
