Hi,

thanks for sharing - I like the way that one looks with the stars very subdued/small compared to the nebulosity :)

cheers,

Robin

Thanks Robin
I’m getting into a routine that seems to work with my atmospheric conditions. Lots of time but with your software and accurate guiding, it’s like set it and forget it, at least for a while. I haven’t installed your new software version as all the processes I use are working as needed.
Really enjoy Sharpcap, makes things very easy and straightforward. Great job!
