Hej, Peter from Sweden here,
I am a beginner in this hobby and i buy an asi224 camera and vill learn me sharp cap live stack.
Last evening i started and after some problems in the beginning it vill start.
When after ca 30min stack i download the exp, in sharpcapture folder.
Then i vill take them into photoshop, but photoshop can not read the file.(fits)
What can be the problem.

Hi,

I think there are add-ins for photoshop that can allow it to read fits file format, but another easy alternative is to convert the image using the free program PiPP - https://sites.google.com/site/astropipp/

Even though the programme's description says it's for planetary imaging, it can be used for all sorts of conversions of image and video files.

Cheers, Robin
