Run 2 instances of SC sequence for eclipse capture?

Hi Crazy idea??? I am planning on imagining the Eclipse with 2 different camera/scopes on the same mount. I would like to run 2 SC Eclipse sequences(one for each rig) on the same PC. Only 1 SC instance would be connected to mount. I would set the capture timing for Pre-Post eclipse to be offset from...

Sharpsolve data for Polar alignment?

Hi Robin
I was curious if your Polar Alignment feature can/will use the Sharpsolve database to allow for a wider "solve" area around the Pole.
My FOV is blocked , such that I can't see within 83N of the pole.
Take care.

Re: Fatal error : Solar/lunar framing Assistant

Hi Robin Yes there is a problem in the ASCOM interface reporting rate 63.825252222222225x, 0.267 deg/s as being valid but ASCOM will not accept this as a valid rate command. I'm working to get Rainbow Astro to fix this issue. Maybe I am mistaken but I think the current issue with trying to "Pul...

Re: Eclipse Sequence Generator

HI LK
Maybe a silly question.
If I am out somewhere with no internet connection , can I setup and run this program?
How?
Thanks again for your work on this.

Re: Eclipse Sequence Generator

Robin, Lk I’ve studied the eclipse path and timing of totality for my location. Totality will occur about 10 minutes after meridian. So I hope to be imaging the entire eclipse with my Lunt. I would like to trigger a flip , maybe 4-5 deg before meridian. Will it be possible to have sharpcap trigger a...

Re: Eclipse Sequence Generator

LK
OK I see filename template in the settings.
I will be sure to set that.

As for the file naming during capture.
From Looking at a sample of the code generated by your program.
Are you only worried about file name collisions during totality because of the rapid acquisition ?

Take care
Steve
