Re: Did I accidently mis-set something?
Tried without success to reproduce the condition. For now I'll chalk it up to a one off glitch.

Did I accidently mis-set something?
Last night while imaging some star clusters, fortunately on 15s subs, Sharpcap would randomly grey-out for first 5 to 10 subs before starting saving subs. This is the first time in many dozens of sessions I've seen this. Thanks in advance for any help/tips.

Re: Advance Warning - SharpCap Pro prices will rise on 1st July
Hi Robin,
If you upgrade from 3.x to 4 before current license expires does the license transfer with the same expiration date?

Re: M31 Andromeda core globular clusters map
Wow. Very impressive. I will be looking at my own M31 core image to see how many globulars I might have picked up.

Re: Artifacts with dark frame subtraction
Hi Robin, As promised I tested dark frame subtraction using the Raw16 color space and there were no artifacts. I have not had a chance to play with the live flat frame subtraction but did use SharpCap to generate. I have a few questions about version 3.2. I see it's beta and expires on September 30....

Update Re: Artifacts with dark frame subtraction
Hi Robin, For the first time since since last posting I got a clear, albeit moon lit, night here in the US Mid Atlantic States. I was able to test the dark frame subtraction on M13 and M27 in RGB24 mode using Version 3.2 The good news is there were no artifacts when using Version 3.2 .To be sure I u...

Re: Artifacts with dark frame subtraction
"Hi, please retest with 3.2.5696 when you have a chance - I have made significant changes to the dark subtraction code that I think will reduce or eliminate this type of artifact. There are a lot of different cases to cover in the dark subtraction, so I hope I (a) found them all and (b) changed...

Re: Artifacts with dark frame subtraction
Hi Brian, "It appears that the artifacts are only happening on the brightest stars. Perhaps the camera's pixel scale and the telescope's focal length have led to severe undersampling. SC could be misinterpreting stars as hot pixels. The pixel size is 4.63 um so if the telescope is relatively sh...

Hi Robin
You asked: "do you have a copy of the dark frame that you were using and an unsubtracted light frame that you can share?"
