I wonder if I might be so bold as to ask for a new feature on wxAstroCapture? I often find that I get better images of the planets if I tweek the white balance...
... Hi James, I think this is your first post here? In that case, welcome! What you are proposing is to show the max value of each channel, right? The existing...
Hi Carsten, Thanks for the welcome. ... Yes that's exactly it. ... Sounds perfect! As an aside I am in the (slow) process of designing (re-designing actually)...
Hi James, ... Be aware that any hot pixels may cause skewed results with this technique, so the histogram should also be consulted. But the histogram and these...
THanks Carsten, I hadn't thought of the hot pixel thing - however when webcamming planets at 10fps it's not a major issue. As for the electronics thing - it's...
James, Small world - I'm actually in the process of building an RA motor and auto-guiding system for my EQ5 mount using a PIC chip too :) The stepper motor is...
... Simon, James Small world indeed, that is very nice! Have you actually guided with wxAstroCapture? Which interface did you use? Please tell us a bit more...
Hi Fellas I live in Australia and this is my first post. I have used wxAstroCapture once, only because we have had overcast skies since the end of August, the...
... Hello Stephen, Great, so we have wxAstroCapture users "down under" as well, welcome! :-) I thought australia had sunshine allmost all year, but now you...
Hi Simon, My first version of a stepper controller with a PIC is here - I used it to replace the hand controller for the EQ-5 which I killed with over voltage....
Hi Carsten, Martin, first off - my prototype autoguide controller works - yippee! However in my lack of knowledge I found something out. With wxAstroCapture...
Hi James ... Congratulations! A great achievement. I can imagine the satisfaction of getting home made devices to work the way it is intended :-) ... Normally,...
Hi all, Especially for new members of this group (welcome!): A new version of wxAstroCapture is going to be released soon, but it is not yet available. When it...
I finally had some free time and go to use wxAstroCapture "properly" out in the field and thought I'd post back my experiences. To set the scene, I was imaging...
Hi Carsten & Martin, Just downloaded wxAstroCapture and joined the group. Did a quick trial of the software and I am impressed. I run Windows 2000 and quickly...
Can anyone help me with problems that I'm having with wxAstroCapture (v1.0-1 and v1.0-2) running under Linux. My Philips SC1.5 modified SPC900NC runs without...
... Hello Rob, Thanks for those nice words, it is really appreciated! With the Art285, I think you will find that the upcoming version adds a few extra nice...
Hello Simon! ... Thanks for that, we did spend some time on that feature :-) I have a low resolution laptop screen myself, so I know what you are talking...
Hi Ken, ... This I had and tracked it down to the BIOS settings of the parallel port. I had to use bi-directional to get it to work. ... Hope this helps. -- ...
Hi Ken, as Clive mentioned the parallel port mode set to plain/bi-dir but never EPP or similar is essential (same as with all capture progs) It's harder to...
Hello All, First time I have been out under the stars in a long time due to wifes ill health and the weather not playing nice. Here is an image of Saturn...
... Hello Clive, I am sorry to hear about your wife's ill health.... and the weather is equally bad over here! That image is very nice indeed! Just a bit on...
Hello Carsten, ... Thank you for the kind words. I think most of the blue can be attributed to the mist that was all around that night. Later I used XP and my...
Hi! Clive & Martin I did begin by using bi-directional setting in the BIOS setting of my laptop. I need a bit of time to study this properly, but I've just...
Hi Fellas Will wxAstroCapture run under Suse 10.3 on a AMD 1400 machine with 512 gb RAM and work? My 9 yr old daughter gives me terrible looks when I take my -...
... I assume that's MB not GB. ;-) It should do. I now have it running on my AMD Athlon 2200 XP with 512MB of RAM under SuSE v10.3. I also run it on my old...
Carsten, Martin, I've been doing some more tests and seem to have pinpointed my main problem. If I leave wxAstroCapture at it's default/startup screen size, I...
... Hello Steve, Welcome to the group! If you have 512GB ram it should be enough :-) I think you mean 512MB, but that should really be no problem either. I...
Hi Ken, ... Hmm... there is a resize happening in that situation, so maybe that is too much for your computer then. There is no problem on my laptop though, ...
