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

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.

Yes, you're right - hopefully not too hard to remember though

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)
