yes, this is till on the TODO list - I would like to have some sort of version available this year. I am working on more basic aspects of a future planetary imaging sequencing tool like autoexposure at the moment.

Nice solar image too!

cheers,

Robin
Thanks Robin. Happy to test if/when you need it.

Thank you Dave. Used my Tak106 + DayStar Quark + 174mm camera. Best 25% of 5000 images taken (~1mS exposures). Processed per Simon Tang video with Autostakert, Imppg, Ps.

Just to let everyone who is interested in mosaics know that I am now working on a Lunar mosaic tool for SharpCap 4.1 (early days yet, but I have worked out a lot of the maths necessary to do things like calculate moon orientation, etc). This will be followed by a solar mosaic tool, and once I have the basic framework, I should imagine that a deep sky version would be possible too.

cheers,

Robin

Hi folks,

progress on this is slow but steady - no way to actually take a mosaic yet, but a lot of work done on planning how the panels need to be laid out and illustrating how it will work



cheers,

Robin

Hi,

for those interested in this topic, the latest beta version of SharpCap 4.1 contains the first prototype of the mosaic feature.

Please see this forum post for more details : viewtopic.php?t=6521

Note that this is not a finished feature yet - it's a work in progress and I am keen to get feedback about it.

thanks,

Robin

This is great news, I’ve been hoping this feature would be added, especially for solar imaging. Thanks!
