SharpCap Forums

Is it possible on sharpcap to do a star measurement so if that star changes brightness a lot, we can notice?
Like a Nova event for instance.
We get the same measure every night until one night it increase by the event.
I tried different options on sharpcsp without success.

Hi,

there is an experimental 'stellar photometry' feature which will add an overlay giving details like the number of photons in the frame from a particular star. At the moment, all you get is the on-image readout of the data, and there is no way to pick the stars beyond using the selection box to narrow down the ones that SharpCap will consider. I am working on some improvements to this that will track individual stars from frame-to-frame even if the image drifts slightly (like live stacking does), but that will take some time to be ready.

cheers,

Robin
