This is worth a look even if your computer cannot implement, https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/tutorials/photo/desktop/video/501733619/

@groberts Photo was purchased from microsoft store, had to load the store app and sign in, from my list of software (not much) found Affinity Photo and 'store' ran the update (no key number with store). Was then able to launch photo from store window and nice to see version 1.9.0.932, I expect it would have happened automatically quite soon, has in the past. Once opened Affinity gave me the option of registering the software. Designer I have from Serif Affinity, downloaded and installed/updated to V1.9 was then asked for key before I could use. I did download Photo from Affinity site but had to go via microsoft store. So a difference depending on supplier. So from the store app three dots top right gives Downloads and Updates.

Just updated to 1.9 (and popped out for my jab). I have Photo via Microsoft Store so some playing around, Designer purchased from Serif so just add key after download - both now 1.9 - good morning so far.

The Help pages are good

T shirts look apt, - eat, sleep, scrub & repeat.

Thanks Nigella, they change from frame to frame, this from 22.27

Still 50% Affinity atm = £23.99 If you own a copy the beta downloads from the forum pages now have an astro import/stacking persona

I must be missing something - cannot see a link/button for that - I am here

Incredible quality for webcams, is that just a 'print screen' capture @Nigella Bryant Thanks for posting, just stunning.

Great talker and interesting subject and responses, many thanks. The links towards the end minkaka? etc. can they be posted here please.

Good work as usual Peter, hard drives are big and cheap these days, super nice thanks.

Mouse over the blue dot, left of thread title - 'Go to first unread post' a click and you are there @Louis D (edit, left click opens directly, right click in a new window - I am using win10)

Well they are at it again, 50% off and free 90day trail if you just want to try 50% Off and Trial Don't know how long this will last

Beautiful, thanks Rob

Some nice snaps from 'weatherwatchers' on the BBC's news site HERE The webcams stunning, thanks (still possible to wind playback to last night, that lighthouse is distracting) HERE

Now an Astrophotography Stack option in the Windows Beta 1.9.0.891 Good start to the new year. Here

As above, very enjoyable and thanks. I guess the question is what will we be seeing in 30 years time ? any takers. Many thanks again @tomato

Towards the end of Mark Shelley's thread are descriptions of using with the latest filmware/edge software, some one post posters, nice of them and thank you. And I have added a post regarding Ascom connection here I find the battery is mostly flat and far to many buttons and information on the screen - but that's just me, I now have a dummy battery that I run off a 5V usb supply, not using the camera for astro imaging but would expect it to work as well as any other dslr. Well worth looking into John

If you are looking at Affinity, Mac & Windows available Dave Eagle ran over it HERE

Can you zoom in in live view as suggested above, perhaps a simple bahtinov mask........
