Re: Annotation off center

I don't see any difference in what you do. As long as I've used Annotation it has always required a second iteration. The amount annotation is off on the first go is directly related to the goto error. Gotos on the same side of the Meridian have very little error like .01 to .02 degree's while gotos...

Re: Annotation off center

I slew to the target and select plate solve in the Scope Controls. After the plate solve recenters (usually under .02 deg) I look at the Annotation and it is off center by the offset. I then do another plate solve and the annotation centering is correct. Some times i wait to do the second plate solv...

Annotation off center

When doing a plate solve the annotation centers on the objects found position and not on the centered position; thus requiring another plate solve.

Auto Color Noise Reduction

Switching on the Auto Color Noise Reduction adds red to the background and with the added red I can't tell if it's causing any improvement to the stacked image.

Hi Robin, Trying to use the Linear Gradient Remover and running into issues with color balance starting with the first frame.

Re: SharpCap 4.1 Beta Update - 23rd January 2023

When using Goto Coordinates the Plate Solve appears to be using the full exposure time which may be as long as 10 minutes. I don't believe that this was the case before and it somehow was able to use enough capture time to get a snapshot instead of using the total designated exposure value. This is ...

Experiencing frequent crashes when stopping Live Stack to go to a new target and lowering the exposure to plate solve. A couple of messages come up and SC closes and needs to to be restarted. Screenshot 2023-01-16 202104.png Screenshot 2023-01-16 201817.png Log_2023-01-24T23_01_11-6120.log Don
