Max Dither Step

#1

Post by RainerKracht »

Hi Robin,

I use SharpCap with my ASI 294MC Pro and a Samyang f = 135 mm.
This gives a pixel size of 7.4 arcseconds and a Bayer matrix
of 14.8 x 14.8 arcseconds.

The camera is connected to my laptop via the SynScanPro App.
My SharpCap 4.0 uses the ASCOM SynScan App Driver.

I have tried to use dither (no guiding) with ASCOM Mount Puls
Guiding. This works, but the Max Dither Step is constrained
to 30 arcseconds in live addition. So the mean dither step is
around 15 arcseconds (two pixel or one Bayer).

Is it possible to enlarge the Max Dither Step?

Regards,
Rainer

Hi,

yes, that's easy to change - will 60 be sufficient?

cheers,

Robin

Let's go for 100. A nice round number, and only one extra keypress :)

cheers,
