FITS Specifications
Would it be possible to have SC save the FITS information when conducting Livecapture such as camera, pixel size, scope, etc....?

Re: FITS Specifications
Would this also mean that Astrotortilla and/or ASPS would be able to manage solve FITS files from a MONO (well, my QHY5III290) source? Or is this perhaps a bug not investigated? Both apps fail after converting and reading the image.
Guessing FOCALLEN would be difficult to fill unless manually entered or retrieved from ASCOM.

Re: FITS Specifications
Since SharpCap is getting used more and more for Deep Sky Objects, I would like to propose to implement the following headers (all readily available in SharpCap).
Code: Select all
OBJECT = 'M27 ' / Target Description
RA: (Mandatory) Right ascension in degrees (not hours) (i.e. 225.211545)
DEC: (Mandatory) Declination in degrees (i.e. -53.25664)
