Re: Added Info in CameraSettings.txt

Yes, putting the custom entry capability on the right side as a separate control panel seems to me to be a good choice. It would be readily accessible and also could be minimized if not needed at any given time. Thank you for considering this.

Cheers (and stay safe),

Re: Added Info in CameraSettings.txt

I second this suggestion from about a year ago. One thing I would like automatically added would be any enhancements and their respective settings used from the Live Stacking enhancement tab. It would be nice to be able to manually add information on ancillary equipment used that are important to th...

Re: M42 chronicles

Yeah, I forgot he mentioned Hyperstar. That does put the camera at the front, which would remove any mount clearance issues. As far as undersampling goes, the Hyperstar can be installed or removed as desired. So it's not like he has a permanent 406.4 mm focal length scope. He can also operate at the...

The ZWO camera is so much easier to use with SharpCap -- no more going through separate obtuse menu settings outside of SharpCap to set exposure and gain, much wider field of view making it e...

Re: Which histogram to use while live stacking?

I've wondered the same thing for quite a while. I haven't yet heard a good explanation of why one should choose to use both, though I know imagers I respect highly (Chris for one) do so.
