Re: Astroart 8 Install on new Windows 11 computer

You are correct, I think it was a pre- released I installed that way. The final release did self install on my Windows 11. Maybe Fabio or another user has a suggestion.

Re: Astroart 8 Install on new Windows 11 computer

I'm using Windows 11 and SP 4 installed fine. I downloaded SP4 and unzipped it then copy and past to AA 8 folder. Could it be you are using the trial version? Maybe that won't let you install a service pack?

Re: Preset Focuser Position By Filter

Hi Joe, I also use a Robo-focus. I'll tell you how I set mine up, that should get you close. If you take an image and you see fairly in focus stars just use the settings you see in the screen shot. If you are out of focus use the manual focus buttons to get close. I have an SCT with the focus motor ...

Re: how to automate darks

Here is a screen shot of a dark sequence bin 1x1, just change the name and bin mode to Dark 2x2 and run it a second time.
The camera Temperature and power % is shown in the bottom right corner of the camera control window.

Re: Pause PHD2 when FF AF?

Hi Rudi, just a suggestion. I really like the idea of the sequencer. A few times I requested new features to Fabio and he implemented some of them. Since the sequencer will create a script that will do the same thing I have found it much easier to embellish the script whenever I feel the need for a ...

Re: Cannot connect to ZWO Camera

Just a suggestion check that all three are installed.

When the ASCOM camera chooser window pops up and you select either ASI camera 1 or 2 what happens if you click on "properties"?

Re: settings QHY268c in Astroart

When you start your camera (I assume it's an ASCOM driver) you should see the ASCOM camera chooser. The Properties button should open a window with camera controls.
