Thanks Jared.
I have Image History turned off, so unfortunately it’s not that
By the sounds of it, SGPro doesn’t like the fact that my system is pretty old. Can’t deny I’m a little bit gutted at this, lol, as one of the few saving graces of DSO imaging is that you have never needed a powerful computer to do it (Planetary is a different matter altogether obviously). Due to being a city dweller, I have to do all my imaging (which isn’t much these days) at a dark site, which means being portable. My old netbook has great battery life so that’s always been one less thing to have to worry about, and it’s never held me back before when it comes to image capture. I certainly can’t stretch to buying a new laptop just for imaging (funds are tight enough as it is), and I can’t imagine I’m the only one who’s not using a fast computer for DSO imaging.
Jared, I know it’s a strange question, but did you guys do much testing on older hardware? Because it still seems strange to me that other Astro packages can seem to save down Raw exposures much more quickly, even on my old netbook. I’ve tested a couple of other programs and if I had to hazard a guess I’d say they too take in the region of about 7 secs, so I’m wondering what else is going on here? The image analysis part doesn’t take long at all, a second or two at most, it appears to be mostly the downloading that is taking up the all the time.
And finally, do you think there will ever be a possibility of keeping the SD card in the camera and using it for some things, such as Flats? Or is it 100% not ever going to happen? Just want to manage my expectations on this one.
