Question FWHM in Livestacking Status tab

#1

Post by Lammertus »

Hi all,

I am busy trying out the livestacking feature for DSO's and see in the Status
tab the FWHM value.
Is this value expressed/measured in Pixels or in Arcseconds?? ( I presume
this is in pixels but correct me please! ).

Regards,
Lammertus

Hi,

yes, it's in pixels - SharpCap rarely works in arc seconds, since that requires accurate knowledge of the focal length of the telescope, which often isn't available.

cheers,

Robin
