Modify current circular reticule overlay

#1

Post by umasscrew39 »

Hi Robin

This might sound trivial but I know it would help me. Is it possible to add numbered tick marks on the current circular reticule overlay much like reticule eyepieces? I think it would greatly help in collimation of a SCT.

Regards,
Bruce

Hi,

Are you thinking of marks showing the degrees around each circle or marks showing the distance from the centre point?

Agree- have used an EP reticule to evaluate the split in double stars in the past.

Hi,

Okay, thanks for that. That sort of thing is definitely possible, but will have to wait for SharpCap 3.3.

Cheers, Robin
