Congratulations, that's very cool!!!

Did you manually blink or have You made a script to detect novae?

Any news on pausing PHD2 when doing an auto focus in a sequence? PHD2 still "freakes out" when I auto focus. I am using an off axis guider. I know I can script my way out of it, but it would be very convenient to have a checkbox in the sequencer: Pause PHD2 when AF. https://www.dropbox.com/s/kk6csgk...

Hello, no, but after the annotation is moved with the mouse, it can be moved precisely with the keyboard with CTRL + arrows. Actually if the point is removed and it's replaced with a star selection, then snapping is possible with the experimental shortcut SHIFT + S (with the annotation active, and ...

Thanks Fabio, that worked great.
Is it possible then to place a Annotation at the mark precicely then?

Exactly - hence my question ;-) I found a workarround yesterday evening. If I zoom an extremely ammount in, such that pixels in the image is eg 20x20 pixels on the screen, I can identify the pixel that closest match the coordinate by fiddeling the cursor arround. But this is cumbersome, if you need ...

Is there an automatic way to coregister multiple images (different sources)? I have my own set of calibrated images and want to stack those with a set of calibrated images from a friend of mine. We have different setups with different pixelscale and image dimensions. Since there's hundreths of image...

I am working on a project, that will last for months. So I will for certain gather lights that will require different sets of calibration frames, because I may shift the camera, or new dust donoughts may show up. Which will all require new flats. To be able to stack sets of lights that is ascociated...

Thanks Fabio!
Many great new features, looking forward to try it out!

That would be a great help

Thanks Iver. That will do for me.
I am also asking on behalf of a “senior” friend of mine. Don’t know how comfortable he is with scripts

Is it possible to add a mount settling time to be used for the "Center" function? I am trying to use it from the GUI, but mostly it fails, since it re-slews and immediately takes the next exposure, resulting in elongated stars, due to some backlash on my axes, which again makes the platesolve fail. ...
