Hi, I purchased BYEOS several months ago, but not being much of a software user, was a bit intimidated by the whole thing of using a computer with a telescope/mount. I've just overcome that hesitancy, and have been having a wonderful time.
I posed a question on another forum, and someone mentioned a function in BYEOS that might be the answer. Here is what I am trying to do, but first the problem:
It seems that each and every time I set up my camera, and slew to the object after doing a precise GOTO, I end up with my camera oriented at another angle from the previous sessions. This is creating a fan affect when I stack my images, and causes me to do some pretty severe cropping.
This is what I would like to do. I would like to find a way of getting my camera orientation with the object consistent. Someone mentioned that BYEOS "May" have a feature that allows for that. It is what I call the funny face. Supposedly you take a preview photo, and then go to live view, and click on the funny face. That overlays the live view over the preview photo. You can then move the camera, and I would do this by rotating the visual back on my refractor, until you attain the orientation you desire. Is this possible with BYEOS? It would definitely make life easier, and I could keep more of my data, instead of cropping the photo, almost into oblivion. Caley
