Add option to use Sigma clipping when capturing Flat

I typically take twilight (sky) flats, since they are convenient for me. I first turn off tracking for my mount, so that any stars visible in the frame will drift from one frame to the next, so they can be calibrated out. Currently if I use the "Capture Flat" feature in SharpCap, I believe...

Flat frame contains star trails

I used the Capture Flat feature for the first time, in version 3.1.5092.0, with an ASI1600MC-Cool camera. I'm using a Win 10 64-bit laptop.

Re: V3.0.4074.0 Notification bar unreadable

I installed build 3.0.4075.0, and it is indeed fixed for me (i.e., the Notification bar and icons are back to their larger size). Thanks.

Re: V3.0.4074.0 Notification bar unreadable

I had the same issue in every build after V3.0.4017.0. I am on a Windows 10 64-bit laptop with these Display settings: Scale/Layout is 250% (recommended) and Resolution 3840x2160 (Recommended). I have reverted back to build V3.0.4017.0 until this issue is fixed. Thanks.

Re: Stars in preview window randomly become blue-ish color
