Re: New Feature : Planetary Live Stacking

Fantastic. Is it possible to change the color a little to a more yellow hue.

Re: New Feature : Planetary Live Stacking

Thanks Robin,

A few years ago I asked if you could repeat the feature built into the old SBIG STV called "Best Sharp". This feature would compare successive images and only display the sharpest one of the images taken. With your new feature you topped the STV feature. Thanks again.

Feature Tracking

I finally got a chance to try the Feature Tracking tool after many windy days. My first attempt at calibration did not work. I was using a rather small FOV so I expanded the FOV and finally got calibrated. I started guiding but although the FT panel indicated that adjustments were being made, my mou...

AVI Files Longer Than Setting

I did some .AVI videos of the Sun Friday setting it to take 1 minute worth of frames. The count at the bottom did indicate that is what it did. The settings .TXT file also indicates a 1m video. But when I load and run the .AVI files in any video player, they indicate that the video is actually 2:40m...

Re: Not recognizing my mount for Tracking Feature

I am unable to calibrate. I am using an Alt-Az mount. Is there any issue with using the feature with that kind of mount? Here are a couple of screen prints of the calibration process.

Re: Not recognizing my mount for Tracking Feature

Thanks Robin, I think I have everything squared away. I don't even have to bring up the basic ASCOM Device Hub. SharpCap starts the mount hub and connects automatically. Its nice that you have that little direction control of the mount available as well so I don't have to flip between the mount's AS...
