Ok, I think you will have to capture some polar frames for me the next time you have trouble - maybe try for a sequence of exposures - one each of

2s, 5s, 10s, 15s, 20s

Then I can have a good look and see what can be worked out for those images. Please capture in PNG format.

Excellent - I have an 071 waiting for some clear sky to point it at too - hope that your weather forecast is better than the one I've got for the next few days!

Glad that you have got the problem sorted now. 5m is definitely pushing things for USB3 - I've found that anything beyond about 3.5m or so becomes unreliable at high data rates on USB3 unless you put a hub in the middle. I ended up re-arranging my observatory to put the PC right next to the pier to ...

Just to make sure I understand correctly - you are thinking about a background grid on the histogram and perhaps some way to read the histogram value off (maybe a tooltip or something).

Thanks for the report - I think nothing remembers the selected rate except the UI, and the UI gets rebuilt when you change certain camera settings like resolution or colour space.

I will put it on the to-fix list.

Just an update that I finally got a bit of clear sky the other evening and had a chance to test out whether the direction instructions indicate the right direction. Here (about 60 miles west of the Greenwich meridian, so basically at Longitude=0). I had instructions to move mostly up and right and w...

Hi,

yes, I have fixed this problem just a couple of days ago - will be in the next 2.10 build.

cheers,

That looks like it is working just how it should with 2.10 - good news
