Thanks Robin, looks OK.

Hi Robin,


Try other versions of SC and it report the correct altitude when the object is selected. The first object list on the latest beta is M57 at 81deg , but should say 8 deg

The listing of the altitudes is way off in the goto catalog but goto is ok. Example at 9pm M51 was at 78deg approx. but the catalog said 31deg. all the listings I looked at had the wrong altitude listed. Also the setting of the exposure to 4sec and gain 151 doesn't work when reduced exposure and inc...

Plate solve in the Goto Catalog/Coord not working due to the change in exposure setting. The 4 seconds is alright but changing gain to 371 for me was way too much I use the ASI2600 and 4 sec works just fine at 100gain for plate solving. It would be nice if you allowed one to select their own exposur...

Tried plate solving a bin2 image in ASTAP and it worked fine. So it looks like bin2 not an issue for ASTAP.

Pause and resume guiding automatically when SharpCap commands an ASCOM mount slew has not been working for me. Is there something I'm not checking off? Sure would be nice if this works when using Goto Catalog/Coord.

Tried various exposure settings for plate solve with camera set to Bin2 and all failed. Plate solve under Bin1 using the same exposure settings all worked.

One of my astronomy buddies said that he had the same failed experience but when he changed his exposure to 2sec from 5 minutes using a ASI2600MC and 100gain he had success with 5 different targets. Of course he had to remember to change exposure settings; which is what we're trying to avoid.

When entering single digit Messier targets in the Target Name a '1' is added. Example M1 enters as M11 or M3 is M31, etc.
