Hello Robin,

Thanks for the explanation.
But I need some time to understand the difference when an image flip is activated or after a meridian flip.

note: I upload a small version of my script for the UCAC4 catalogue in a different topic.

Hello, I have now a small program for the generation of a custom star catalogue from the UCAC4 catalogue. The UCAC4 catalogue is much too large for importing completely in the Deep Sky Annotation tool. So I did a small script and a C-program for this. Unzip the following file where you want. UCAC4_S...

Hello Robin, Thank for both methods. If you ask what I want ... then I will say "both" :-) It is OK for a little bit more calculation. One of my idea is to have in the future the camera exposure, offset and gain sets automatically from the script. I'm planning to have several occultation o...

Hello Robin, I found the message with the result of the Plate Solve. https://forums.sharpcap.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=38091#p38091 I test it. It works. But ... I'm interested for more information, not only RA and DEC, ideally the X/Y field dimension and the image orientation to North. Can you export al...

Hello Robin, I continue some programming. It was not easy to find a simple way to concatenate 2 string in C. (it was more than 10 years ago that I program something in C). It could be not more simple in Python => A + B when A and B are 2 strings. So, I have now in my script the possibility to genera...

For that I modified the C code from the UCAC4 CD files. Now the code generate an output text file with ...

Hello Robin, OK for the locking the windows when GOTO Target is open. For the very large catalogs ... here the Hyperleda: https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/806929-sharpcap-and-deep-sky-image-annotation/page-4#entry12880601 If you prefer, I can try to zip and send one large file to you per email.

Hello Robin, Concerning the Deep Sky Annotation tool ... in the past days I did some experiment with large catalogues. I have a wish ... can you do a small change in the way the catalogues are loaded ? In place to load all the catalogues at the start of the Deep Sky Annotation tool, you can load onl...
