Hello, adding figures to the Atlas can be done easily. As you wrote, platesolving the guider may not work, and in any case it will not help to reach the guide star, since the guide camera will be moved blindly by hand. By the way: since an OAG just rotates around the main field, maybe the best info...

Thanks for all of the suggestions, Duncan. I tried them and even used Windows 10 software compatability test to try and fix the problem. The test reformatted windows to Windows 8 but the result was exactly the same. No taskbar on the bottom so no ability to find minimized windows. So, I am just goi...

Currently the camera frame is shown in the Star Atlas. Would it be possible to show the guide camera and imaging camera frames simultaneously in the Star Atlas? I intend to use an OAG in the future and it would be very handy to have the both the guide camera and imaging camera frames visible to aid ...

I installed AA7 on another laptop and it correctly shows the star atlas as an icon when minimized... My current display (from where I am typing this) is a 1920x1200 projector display but the source is a laptop with a native display of 1366x768. By default the laptop forced the projector display to s...

Everything is updated and this is a new computer. Exactly why I cannot stand Windows and always prefer to use my Mac. All other programs seem fine so I am not sure what the issue is. If I cannot resolve this, I need to find MAC program to use. Are you using larger fonts and/or icons? Sometimes that...

As you can see on the attachments, the camera window is open and when I minimize it, it disappears instead of going to the lower left corner. All the windows I open do the same thing. That appears to be a video driver bug because the lower portion of the AA7 frame is missing. I cannot replicate tha...

Correct - I have Windows 10 V10.0.17134 Build 17134

.

Same here, but I have no problems except the Star Atlas.

I tried that- no difference. All minimized windows still disappear. You mean the camera control windows and image windows? I didn't notice that from Feb 24-March 10 and I was using two machines running two mounts for two weeks...in fact, now that I think about it, I had no problem with the Star Atl...

Actually, any of the windows you minimize in AA7 disappear in Windows 10 - not just the Star Atlas. I've been leaving them open and just shuffling them around which makes it difficult to view the main window. Try enabling "auto hide taskbar" in the Win10 taskbar settings. I haven't noticed anything...

The current autofocus always selects the brightest star. Maybe the focus exposure time was too short? On some fields an exposure time of 2 seconds may be necessary to get an acceptable star. OK, I will write you by PM when ready. (But only increasing the exposure time will solve). I think I underst...

I think I found a bug in AA7:

If I start AA7, then start the Star Atlas and minimize it, the Star Atlas will disappear from AA7 and cannot be made visible until AA7 is closed and restarted.

I am not sure if this is an Astroart or Moonlite question. I setup my Moonlite focuser with the ASCOM driver and did an initial focus on Dubhe using the scope focuser with a Bahtinov mask per the Moonlite instructions. I then set the Moonlite draw tube at midpoint of its total steps which I calcula...
