Hello Markus and Tim, Welcome to this TNO event. I hope I can record it too, my biggest worry is the weather ... I agree with Tim's points. Markus, don't worry about SNR. The best way is to convey on site between different parameters: sufficient short exposure time to record a possible secondary eve...

Hi, Missing object RA/DEC I cannot confirm (8218 32bit, w10, ASCOM-hub, QHY174GPS). They appear in FITS headers "RA"/"DEC" and "OBJCTRA"/"OBJCTDEC". At least "Test Platesolve" seems to work also. Focal length (as set in platesolve options) I haven't ...

Hi,

Works now with latest version

Thanks, Christian

Cheers, Christian

Hi, With the same settings/setup as above I repeated the test with GPS OFF (blue), but only for full frame. I confirm Robin's and Jean-Francois's result: no framerate drops. In addition, I repeated the test also with GPS ON. Surprisingly I could not reproduce the drops found (red) in my first test. ...
