Re: What's new in SharpCap this week... 18th July 2022
In CdC, the "Position" icon to the right of the "Advanced Search" magnifying glass, lets you specify a location by RA/Dec or Alt/Az. Then hit slew. Steve. That is what I have done and does not allow to use decimals, which is more precise. For example: 08h 31m 41.70s 52° 45 16.8

Re: Abell 2256 cluster + use of SharpCap annotations
Doing the negative and then fading back the histogram is a good way of doing annotation. I generally do it in PI on a positive image but it ends up looking too busy for things like galaxy fields - so that is a good approach Tim That was indeed the reason for going negative, it became too busy. Also...

That would be useful if I do not want to rely on Internet connection and using Cartes du Ciel. For some reason, Cartes du Ciel does not allow to enter exact coordinates for objects.

Nice image!
I like seeing distant galaxy clusters imaged. They are often my favorite objects to look at through EAA.

I like that idea. What would be cool is if we can use the Deep Sky Survey or PanSTARRS for GOTO image.

I would like to test that out when I have the opportunity. It could be useful for non-cooled camera.

Re: Experiment: M101 in Ha / Near IR 742nm
Nice image of M101.
I have done some near infrared myself with the ASI294mc Pro. I use #29 red filter, Lumicon Night Sky H-Alpha filter, and 850 nm filter.
I have gone deep with them as faint as over magnitude 20.

Re: Plate Solving Issues
I did update ASTAP. It helps. I also should of have kept the object focused. Focusing is paramount for plate solving.
