#BACKYARDEOS ASTROTORTILLA PC#
Use your PC memory to reduce dropped frames when capturing Īlways on mini histogram with display stretch tools – see the faint stuff on screen without altering saved data.Īssistance in adjusting your atmospheric dispersion corrector to get great planetary images. Let SharpCap automatically measure the characteristics (read noise and e/ADU) of your astro camera Keep track of the quality of seeing in an objective wayĪutomatically capture when the seeing passes a set threshold No more guessing at deep sky imaging settings Īutomatically track image features during high speed imaging Īuto scan for and return to point of best focus SharpCap doesn’t quite do what you want? Add your own functionality using Python scripting. Movable, resizable reticule for alignment, centering, collimation, etc. Zoom the preview in to see fine detail, zoom out to see entire frame from high resolution cameras. Plate solve using AstroTortilla/ASPS/Ansvr to sync your ASCOM mount to the correct position automatically. Six focus score algorithms.Ĭontrol your ASCOM focuser from within SharpCap, create graphs of focus quality versus focuser position.Ĭontrol filter wheels from within SharpCap for LRGB capturingĪdjust the position of your mount from within SharpCap, including spiral search to find objects just out of view. Run captures of custom lengths, run sequences of captures at regular intervalsĪssistance in measuring quality of focus for planets, stars and surface images. Pre-defined video lengths by frame count and time to get capturing quickly Advanced users can setup templates for maximum flexibility.Ĭamera settings used saved alongside every capture file – no forgetting what settings you used. Im seeing YouTube videos on opening the gearbox to make some adjustments. Save as many capture profiles as you like, name them, manage them and configure them to load automatically when camera openedĮvery capture file gets a unique name, you can configure how they are organised by target, date, time, etc. I uploaded my last sessions PHD2 log and apparently my DEC Backlash is out of control. įull set of camera controls available alongside the capture areaĮnsure proper exposure settings – use selection box to show histogram of a limited area No more guessing how far to nudge the mount to center a target using click-to-recenter. Polar align using your guidescope – the easiest to use polar alignment tool available! Ĭonfigure sophisticated imaging sequences to run automatically using the SharpCap Sequence Editor and Sequence Planner See live deep sky images build on screen, each frame aligned and derotated before adding to the stack Flat frames can be applied for high speed imaging. Camera can be run in still mode.Īpply dark frame subtraction, flat frame correction, background removal and banding suppression directly within SharpCap. Support for high-speed cameras including USB3 speeds for lucky imagingĮxposure time only limited by camera capabilities.
