Asteroid (4) Vesta Animation Using Live Stack Auto Save/Reset
Posted: Sat Jan 06, 2024 5:24 am
Hi Robin,
I was finally able to use SharpCap 4.1 for the first time since you fixed the overwrite issue with the live stack auto save/reset feature. I picked a big bright asteroid as the night's animation target. The auto save/reset worked great! No overwrite alerts. SharpCap auto-saved my 10-second images every three minutes. 40 live-stacked images in total. Only 21 needed for this approximately 2-hour animation.
By the way, I used the GoTo Coordinates and SharpSolve features for the first time. Fantastic tools. They operated seamlessly, and SharpSolve was super fast. I really liked the status box that appeared during the process of slewing to (4) Vesta's coordinates, solving, syncing, and centering. It was very satisfying (and reassuring) to watch the status of each step in the process as it progressed.
Thank you!
