Hi Robin
I know Sharpcap Pro already has a plate solving for mount position, but could you possibly implement a way to identify objects like very faint galaxies on ones live image using some type of plate solving method?
Thank you,
Chris A

Re: Identification using plate solving
If you're Live Stacking just save as seen and upload here http://nova.astrometry.net/upload The site will blind solve your image and annotate. If not live stacking upload a single frame works just as well.
Re: Identification using plate solving
You know that I know this Chris, but I want to do the actual solving of galaxies on the live stacking image. I was watching Jim in IA last night doing this in real-time with some other program and it was so cool!

Re: Identification using plate solving
Didn't even see who posted this and just gave the option of astrometry.net I think what your asking is a way to show astrometry.net annotations on on the SharpCap display. That would definitely be an awesome feature.
Re: Identification using plate solving
Yes, I agree with Chris that it would be a fantastic feature to show live to our NSN viewers.
Cheers!

Re: Identification using plate solving
Nice idea,
Another interesting twist would be to automatically name images based on the most prominent feature found in the (M 31, NGC 1024, etc. Etc.)

Re: Identification using plate solving
That also sounds great Robin and I hope that this can be all implemented in the very near future in Sharpcap Pro.
