Live stack histo adjustment

I've found it hard to adjust the histo black level with my mouse/track pad sometimes to really dial in a image during live stacking. Could you add a keyboard shortcut or button combo so I could lock the mouse on the black or midpoint level and "bump" them a small amount with the left or ri...

Re: FITs file header

When I have to use the "add custom" for stacking it ask for exposure time, filter type, and the type of image (dark, flat, etc). I've seen someone else that uses SPG stack in PI and they just pointed to the files and all of that info was auto-filled. I posted on the PI board asking for som...

Re: ZWO ASI 120 MC not reacting

If it's the USB 2.0 version it is known to have problems that were fixed with the 120mm/mc-S version. Last time I read up on it I don't think a fix was found. You could go to the ZWO website and download their firmware installer and get the lastest firmware on it. This thread is a little out of date...

Re: Dithering

The new test version has the new dither function that takes around 15 seconds.

It's a test version so read the thread about how it works.

Re: Dithering Costs a Whole Frame

I'm set up right now using it....so far it's perfect. I'm about 6 Dithers in and they take around 12 seconds. Thanks for the update! Update...... The very next dither after posting that above I ran into a problem. The only thing I think I did differently was I had PHD2 in another window overlayed ab...

Re: File name issue

That would explain why it only did it sometimes. I must have hit buttons in a different order without realizing it.

Thanks for the help.

File name issue

SC 3.2.6086.0, Windows 10, ZWO1600mm-c This might be a bug or I'm doing something wrong. I was making some fine tuning to my hardware using Live stack last night. I would measure my t2 rings and use that as the file name as I dialed in my field flattener spacing. I named a file 61mm in the file name...

Re: Alignment error in Live stacking

Went out last night and started with some brighter Nebula.....everything stacked fine so I went back to the heart nebula and it stacked perfectly. I hadn't adjusted anything and stayed at gain 200 and 60 second exposure. The only two differences were I had focused again...so maybe that was slightly ...

Re: Alignment error in Live stacking

Thanks for the reply.....The exposure was 60 seconds at 200 gain. I reset all the defaults under the alignment and log tab and then started adjusting the settings from there. I did have a hot pixel warning at first but got it to turn off after adjusting min star size (I think it was that setting). I...
