PHD2 stats displayed in blank area of SC

#1

Post by chongo228 »

I've always had a large blank area to the right of my image while doing live stacking. Even if I make the live stack menu smaller there is still a blank area to the right of the image that just gets tall and skinny.

Would it be possible to have SC display what PHD2 is doing so I can have all the info on one screen? I took a screen shot of what I'm thinking of. Just have SC keep it on top and in the unused space next to the image. Even if it's not all of the info PHD2 displays just having something there would be useful.


Thanks as always.

Hi,

an interesting idea - not sure if it is possible to put PHD in that space easily, but it's made me think about that blank space in general and whether there could be a better use for it. :)

cheers,

Robin

If PHD2 isn't possible maybe just the ability to drag some of the controls from the right side menu into that spot. My mount, focuser, and filter wheel controls would fit nicely.

Perhaps also changing the shape of the live stack controls at the bottom would make better usage. (Using the images I posted as an example) You could make the histo go the entire screen from left to right and move all the menu options like clear, save, pause, and the stats to the blank area.
