Does Sky X support dithering?

[gregbradley]

I see there is a video showing how Sky X will do dithering. I remember when I first used Sky X for autoguiding there was a dither option but the latest builds seem to have removed it. I don't see it anywhere unless its in some sub menu I am unaware of?

Can you still use dither in Sky X and if so how do you find it in the program?

yeah you can, it is in the Camera tab, not the autoguider one

[gregbradley]

Oh I see it. In the camera tab and under take series.

Thanks Aidan.

just on a side note, the latest build for TSX is a vast improvement !, they seem to have fixed a lot of bugs

[Somnium]

No worries

[gregbradley]

Which build is that? I updated it not that long ago. Sometimes I don't like updating as its a step backwards.

Is it 10.5 build version 10031?

Greg.

[Somnium]

yeah 10031, a lot of things i just took as quirks of the software have just been cleaned up. i have had my issues with SB, and i still have some but i am impressed that they are working through the issues

[gregbradley]

Thanks Aidan.

I haven't really had any issues with Sky X except for the fact that the display of objects and their labels was a big step backwards from the Sky 6.0. I prefer that graphical display to the current one which I find it hard to get it to display what's up very well like it used to.

there are a few really slight things that just make life better, they now disable automatically save the images when focus max is running, you now have greater control in guiding if you want to change the aggressiveness in one axis, if you click abort on a image run, it now aborts the whole thing rather than just the current image. things like that, not major issues but i actually noticed the changes that were made and it made my life a little better :) (though i am still getting mount hit something errors when parking after imaging)

Thanks Aidan.

That does sound like an improvement.
