Zoom all the way out to see the extents. Also, if you plate solve an image it will give you the rotation. Adjust the rotation in the framing tool to match that of your image.

hi thanks if i zoom out i just get a black square round the border as this is the image i took .not quite sure about your second comment re rotation in framing tool(still new to nina)  thanks

any  thoughts

hi all just trying mosaics for the first time(pleaides) ,do i need to adjust the angle of my camera (which i dont want to do) or can i take an image import to framer extend to 4 images and hope it includes the extra parts of the image if that makes sense,second one was the original image i took thanks

superb image

well the pi is here and rain sensor is superb ,my son who is in to all this has written a program and is well on the way to writing a small program for my pc,at the moment i can log on to a web page he has set up on pi and it indicates 0 for clear and 1 for when i put water on the sensor,will give more info soon ,but looking good

The drop down box in the attached image shows where you can choose how NINA saves files - you can choose from TIFF, FIT or XISF as a native format for Pixi users!!

 

thanks billy what i mean is does the autostretcher setting or black clipping setting alter the image it saves to the image folder or just the image it shows you in nina ,cheers

does anyone know if nina saves the image from ccd to folder without altering the image

thanks guys will keep you updated if anyone is interested 

Another great aspect to this is the support given ,2 queries i had were very quickly answered,just need the clear nights to put it through its paces

I use one of these - its not USB but it works very well. I have it trigger a flashing blue light in the house.

that looks ok just wondered if a usb could be integrated somehow

Hi all with the weather being hit and miss just wondered if there was a good rain detector pref usb that anyone could recommend thanks

cant believe ive only just realised😊,must say though nina looks  superb at first glance

well a quick update ,fitted the focuser to my coarse side and wow what a difference its only been like it 2 years,but it always worked,had trouble connecting to the mount yesterday(thats a new one on me) but things turned out good in the end see image below thanks guys,forgot to add this was with a new install of nina as well

Thats great billy after reading a post yesterday i also installed nina but couldnt test for clouds but must admit it looked very impressive,also going to try astap for the first time ,be prepared🤔,where did you post your questions billy as i finished up on a forum i didnt know how to use?discord??

i have just ordered another flexible coupling and im going to remount to the course side and im not sure if my focuser bottomed out and screw securing flexible coupling may not been as tight as it should,any way like i said my v curve has never been great but it never let me down either  so theres hope,thanks to all who have made great suggestions

your right cheers billy

Yes.

thanks Billy wheres the option in astroplanner to export and in nina to import which im just about to try,looks great ??

can you import objects from astroplanner into nina like you can sgp before i give it a go please

its a ts optics 100 quad with 414ex ccd,i didnt take any screenshots unfortunately

thanks mark put mine on the fine side i believe ,gonna check later 

hi all my autofocus (pegasus and sequence generator) let me down big time last night ive never had the best v curve when autofocusing but its always done well,but  last night was a wash out ,lots of settings changed to no avail,the v curve was up and down like a yoyo,just a couple of questions for anyone with a motorised focuser,which shaft do you have your focus motor on and how do you work your settings for autofocus out,any other info/suggestions appreciated

hi guys just wondered what happend to my shark neb (ldn1235),after seeing some great images of this recently decided to give it a go ,only 20 mins each of rgb,but i just cant see it coming through like you usually can,or where the head should be ,is this worth persuing,any suggestions appreciated

Hi just going to set my c8 edge up for planetary ,mainly jupiter and saturn,will be using a powermate x2 and an adc i have,along with probably my asi178 colour,how do i connect them all and will i have enough back focus ,any suggestions appreciated thanks
