Hi George,
thanks for the suggestion - I hadn't thought of that!
I have plans to improve the minimum altitude at some point so you can specify a variable horizon (different heights in different directions), so I will think about it then.
cheers,
Robin

Re: End of sequence after meridian flip
Hi Eric, ah yes, that is a SharpCap message! I was searching for the wrong wording. What is happening there is that the mount is say flipped past the meridian (east side pointing west at maybe 182 azimuth) according to the mount ASCOM co-ordinates. The plate solving result comes in at a position on ...

Re: FX Blue Channel for focusing an achromat
Hi, blue channel to mono would work for manual focusing, since you would only see the blue image data on screen. Unfortunately you cannot select the blue channel to mono at the same time as SharpCap's focus tools, but some of them do have an 'Image Processing' option in the controls on the left that...

Re: Mount controls !
Hi, no, no plans for Wifi or similar - although wireless connections to hardware seem convenient they are much more prone to glitches and problems than wired connections. The best way to do things is to put a small mini-PC at the telescope running SharpCap - this would have a wired connection to all...

Re: 183MC-Pro weirdness with SC 4.1.12025.0 (64-bit)
Hi, I think the first thing to try here would be to see if the problems are being caused by USB data transfer related issues. These can arise from using long cables, hubs, extensions or high values of the 'Turbo USB' setting. There are some hints here on things to try to help check if there are USB ...

Re: Mount controls !
Hi, hopefully someone who uses the AM5 can give you more details, but in outline... * Connect mount to PC/laptop with USB cable. * Make sure ASCOM platform (latest version installed) * Install ZWO ASCOM driver from here : https://www.zwoastro.com/software/ * Tell SharpCap that you would like it to u...

Re: Lunar Mosaic Tool.
Hi Matt,
glad you like it - if you haven't already give the automatic alignment a try... It tends to work really well (sometimes slightly over-exposing for the auto alignment helps)
cheers,
Robin

Re: SV605cc stretching is not well
Hi, it's a bit hard to tell what is going on from the screenshots. If you tick the 'Log' checkbox on the histogram then it alters the horizontal scale to be logarithmic, giving more space to the important part on the left hand side. That helps a lot when manually adjusting and seeing what is going o...

Re: Dark frame is completely dark on SV605cc
Hi, I would suggest opening the camera with the <CTRL> key pressed to stop it from reloading previously saved settings - I can see from your capture settings file that you had some odd things enabled including somewhat strange display stretch settings that mean anything below 50% image brightness wo...

Re: Last used camera settings not restored
Hi Eric,
thanks for that - the log looks like it has the information I need. I am away at the moment, but will go through the code later in the week to try to understand why it is happening and what to do about it.
cheers,
Robin
