SharpCap Forums

Is there a link to all the objects available in the GOTO Catalogs? The software locks me out of the catalog when no equipment is attached. I would like to know if/how the object is listed when I am preplanning for my imaging sessions.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

there is no full list, but a summary can be found in the documentation here - https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#Custom ... %20Objects (note: also there are about 1000 short period variable stars added since the documentation was last updated).

However, it is easy to achieve what you want - make sure you have the ASCOM platform installed on your PC and set up SharpCap to use the ASCOM simulation telescope driver ('Telescope Simulator for .NET' or 'ASCOM OmniSim Telescope' depending on your ASCOM version). Once you have done that you can 'connect' SharpCap to the simulated telescope driver and explore the catalog (and test out other GOTO telescope related features).

Hope this helps,

Robin
