ID moons

[roelb]

Firecapture gives a live ID of which moons you are seeing when you click on the ephemerides button near the capture screen.
Would that be also possible in SharpCap?
Thanks.

Hi,

one of the astronomy calculation libraries that I already use seems to have code to calculate the positions of the 4 Gallilean moons, so some information could be calculated and presented. Not sure if I can think of how that might fit into SharpCap though - I wouldn't want to add a new item in the Tools menu for something this small (and only applicable to one target).

cheers,

Robin

Hello,

And the moons of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune ?
It should be possible to have the position of these moons too.

Hi,

I'm sure there are software libraries out there with the calculations in them, but I don't have one that does Saturn/Neptune/Uranus (or mars for that matter) already in SharpCap. I would have to find one, and make sure that it is not GPL licensed, as using that would be breaking the rules...

cheers,

Robin
