RA/DEC lines in folder monitor camera

They dont show up.

Am trying to sharpen my Sharpcap skills while waiting out the rainy period. So lots of use of the Folder Monitor Camera to run through older acquisitions.

Would like to try the RA/DEC guides on the FMC also, but its greyed out. Plate Solving (solve only) works fine.

Not sure if its a bug or by design - but would be extremely helpful.

Thanks

Hi,

for the pixel position to be available you have to have an ASCOM GOTO mount connected - you can always use the 'Simulator' that installs by default with ASCOM. Make sure that the mount co-ordinates are close (within a few degrees) of the image co-ordinates before plate solving.

cheers,

Robin
