What Capture software do people use?
« on: 2014 February 10 10:30:28 »
Just curious what software people use for image capture when working with PixInsight.

Thanks,

Jim
Really, are clear skies, low wind and no moon that much to ask for?

Gotta go with APT, it has never let me down and is improving all the time with additions that allow greater control in taking images. I tried sequence generator pro but felt it as being too dry or impersonal if you take it that most of us are up late at night in our hobby. Not sure about anyone else but I am beginning to know all the localconstables who first ask what I am doing and then the next time they visit they always bring a nice hot flask of tea or soup.  :police: :police: :police: :police:

Hi Click,

APT is new package for me.  What does it stand for and where can I find out about it?

Since I'm a DSLR imager, I use BackYard EOS by Binary Rivers for the control of my Canon 550D (T2i).
Celestron CPC1100 - Canon 550D (T2i) and of course, Pixinsight!

I'm using Images Plus Camera Capture.  Does both my DSLR and CCD.

Don, here is a link to APT.  I've not looked at it in sometime and the developer appears to have a lot of new features.
