Sharpcap RGB align(?)

[northcanadian]

Hi all:

I tried some imaging last night....clear and cold.  However I had to pack it in early as there was lots of dew and my hair dryer decided to quit.  I did notice that there seemed to be colour misalignment with Saturn

on the screen.  I also noticed in Sharpcap settings somewhere... RGB align....though briefly, and couldn't find it again.  Where is it in the settings and could it be used in this case?

I hope this isn't too silly a question....thanks again

Hi,

in the dropdown on the toolbar - the one that starts as 'No Transform', just select the 'RGB Align' transform.

It's worth noting that the RGB alignment in SharpCap *only* applies to the preview images - it doesn't affect the saved AVI. The reason for this is that most stacking programs (Registax etc) will re-align your RGB channels for you when you process the AVI. The feature in SharpCap is there to help you get a good image on the screen and ensure that you can focus with maximum accuracy when preparing to capture.

One of these days I'll get around to writing a SharpCap user manual

cheers,

Robin

Thank you Robin! I really like this great program.  It is so much easier to get around than the IC Capture which was somewhat difficult for an old luddite like me...lol

Cheers

That would be good as I was just randomly clicking on things last night not knowing what it was for.
