Re: Astroart 8

Hi Fabio,

A little confused. Has the full version pf Astroart 8 been released or just the demo version?

Thanks,

Ernie

basic question about focus

Read the manual, but unclear if to get an accurate focus whether I should repeat the autofocus with decreasingly smaller steps?

flat frames

Cannot fame any detailed instructions in the manual on flat frames. How long should the exposure be and how bright the image should be, is there a way to measure the brightness of the image?

Thanks,
