Sorry, this is much too complicated. Keep it simple and fun.
OK, for rank first time beginners, is there a default setting for the histogram color adjustments?
Thank you. One question - What is the file extension of the flat and dark calibration files? PNG? FITS?
Last night, I used SharpCap with my QHY 5 III 462 C to capture Jupiter. However, I only used the 1 star aligment which I won't do again, LOL. Jupiter kept drifting. The other thing I did was in my excitement was I forgot to save the image. So, it was the first time trying SharpCap. I did get a clear view of Jupiter though, but rookie mistakes cost me the video file. Great video!
Thank you for the video. It was very useful for me. The Orion Nebula turned too green and I didn't know how to solve it because I'm a beginner. Now I understand how to improve the image.
Space is fake ..I have the real space Force captured on film here... dimensions
Not a bad presentation at all. Thanks!!
Nice. Thanks.
I know both of these guys!!! 🔭♥
You explained well, I'm glad that I begin to understand little by little, eg how working (on) histograms.
Very clear and concise. I use EAA/Live Stack as my primary astronomy but good guides and how to are few and far between. Definitely one I'll be sharing to the rest of the astro club!
Well done! Thanks for taking the time to make this!
I loved the straightforward nature of your presentation. Much appreciated and very informative. Reminded me of the old TV show, Dragnet. Just the facts mam, just the facts. Thank you.
What is the F ratio of your club's 18" Newtonian?
The native F ratio of the Newt is 4.5. We are now using a coma corrector that reduces to F3.3.
jeff, Question, how do you configure the folder monitor camera option? When I click on that option, it doesn't default to my folder directory. instead, i see a picture pops up dark sky with stars, pulling a file from somewhere other than a folder, my guess, however It will not default to folder directory, do i need to configure this option?
It opens the last folder that was selected. To select a different folder go to camera controls - source folder and click on the browse button. Yes the first image loaded will be black because it had not been stretched yes with the historgram.
Hello Jeff, Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. do have a video for capturing Dark and Flat frames ? I'm new at this, which is a huge learning curve for me. I'm using a Celestron Nexstar 130 SLT, 650MM, F/5. I purchased a ZWO-ASI120mc-s camera. Using SharpCap 4.0. Would appreciate if you could guide me to a link in reference using SharpCap taking dark and light frames. Thanks Jeff.
Sorry I don't have a video for taking darks and flats. I found these videos when searching TH-cam. darks: th-cam.com/video/LhvQ6Cn5DVE/w-d-xo.html flats: th-cam.com/video/4cbWKDctaps/w-d-xo.html
Jesus guys the audio is horrible get it together.
How is do you sharpin up the live stock what galaxy is that what number
The Galaxy is M33. On the livestack tabs there is an Enhancement tab that will allow for some sharpening but I have found it to be not too useful.
OK a silly Question; at 9:14 where did he click in the app to open that dialog?
When reviewing my video I noticed that got covered up. At the end of the video we added a segment to explain how to select the calibration frames.
Extremely helpful Jeff. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Why you not pointing the telescope to the sky, why not make then live stacking, and explain by short? As a beginner this is I am waiting for.
Good video. I have started to use, but a good job reinforcing how to use live stack. A question for you - if you want to capture raw frames whilst you use Live Stack (this is an option) to later stack in Deep Sky Stacker - is it a good idea to pre-process with dark/flats? I understand that SharpCap will include the dark/flat adjustments in each one of the raw files. Is this better or worse than letting DSS deal with the dark and flats? Many thanks.
You can capture raw frames will live stacking.
Good job Jeff!
Jeff - This is very helpful video for beginners to learn. Specially, the presentation (11:00-14:00) is good for learning how to use all the Histogram sliders. Thanks. Ken
Hi, David, Thanks for sharing your knowledge with amateur astronomers. Much appreciated!
My pleasure - as long as it helps/helped someone, my day is made!
Awesome job everyone!
