- (snazzysoftware) Add support for the new Starlight Xpress SXVR camera range. Starlight Xpress software reports SXVR-H9 as (SXVIO=272, OS=5.1, PID=0119). Would happily provide more info and test beta-version.
(dherndonnc) preconfigured exposure settings you can select from a drop down. Nameable so you can jump between frame/focus/preview/capture/fine by just selecting the settings group you predefined. ditto on more progress bars for everything, and values displayed for all sliders.
Planetary stacking routine
Add ability for external script to control imaging, etc. within Nebulosity for use with
VB scripts or programs such as ACP [
OK, as discussed, to check the clipboard or even a file for commands when in script-run mode – in progress]
(Craig) Window that will show the processing history and allow you to save this. (At some point to let you play this back, but keeping track of the processing is most important
(Craig) Curves tool
you might allow curves to be pre-set with some convenient function (log, power, etc); these can make a good starting point from which to start tweaking
- be able see focus numbers in very large format. expose the shot, then click focus and then adjust your focus at the scope when you are five feet away from you computer.
Add access to ASCOM supported focusers and mounts from Nebulosity to assist frame and focusing.
(Jeff) Add progress bars during batch functions and aligning
(Dale) If multiple Canon cameras exist, let you select which to connect to
Ability to auto dark-subtract (or store and reuse dark-frame) with SBIG cameras (Use internal filter control for capturing dark vs. light frames.)
(Brad) Add and save camera type in preferences and only have a connect button on main screen
(JonD) Integration with FocusMax would be nice (if that’s possible)
(JonD) nudge/centre here capabilities similar to MaximDL
Ability to pass images from second CCD in dual ccd camera out to phdguide.
(dherndonnc) Progress bars, overall and exposure, optionally displayed (and large so you can see from distance). Some customizable audio tones as well so you can take a nap and hear when you’re “x percent done”

. The data is there in the status bar, so adding progress bars should be easy?
(Brad) Ability to select USB device 1 for qhy8 so I can guide and image from same PC. It currently only looks at device 0.
(rcole_sooner) Have slider bars provide slider values as the slider is being changed.
(rcole_sooner) The ability to save the locations of dark, flat, and bias files.
Nikon DSLR support (like on DSLR shutter-IR serial port cable)Please!!
(Jeff) Richardson-Lucy deconvolution
(Jeff) Automatic pre-processing routine, possibly as a script? Select lights, optional darks, optional flats, & optional biases and press start. Could be integrated with a capture routine (”now capturing lights/darks”) that sends images to an appropriate sub-directory based on imaging session. Would automatically clean up intermediate files saved (pproc*, recon*, etc.) Ref. Adobe Photoshop Actions as inspiration.
(Jerry) A means of controling which folders are used as the defaults for each processing session.
(Brad) gradient removal tool, enhanced histogram display (real-time feedback), more conventional levels and curves utilies,clone tool for fixing defects, support for PS plug-ins
cropping by the numbers (Image→Crop, submenu) needs to actually work, or:
cropping region by dragging a box with the mouse needs to be modifiable with keys, or:
need ability to align/stack a collection of color images, rather than doing them separately (a huge help), or:
provide method to do (L)RGB Synthesis with images of slightly different sizes, selecting alignment reference points
display histogram limits
automatic dark frame captures over a range of exposures
undo needs to be implemented
(Jerry P) Add Pentax DSLR as a camera selection in the devices accepted
(bhorrock) Add option to use .fits and .fts extensions for compatibility with other programs (Pixelmator, OSX)
(phomer) Add support for the latest QSI camera Firmware Release 5.2.6 to allow faster focussing - QSI 583 (OSX)
(phomer) I would like to be able to define the default capture times so that I can select them.
(aen) Just as the scripting feature can listen to the clipboard for commands, it would be VERY powerful if scripting could take commands from and generate responses to a SOCKET, that way users can automate whatever sort of conditional processing they want, and a lot of the features people ask for could be accomplished by small programs which drive Nebulosity over the socket interface.
(microastro) Add an option to use a running average (?3) of the HFR in the Fine Focus routine to smooth out the variation due to seeing.
(aen) Option to start the next exposure in a series BEFORE reconstructing the current DSLR raw image. Motivation: A small laptop can easily spend 20 to 30 seconds taking a canon raw file and converting it to raw FIT/internal format. Currently, Nebulosity finished the reconstruction, THEN starts the next exposure, introducing this delay as an unintentional time lapse. If the exposure(n+1) were started immediately after exposure(n) was downloaded, there would be the whole exposure(n+1) shutter-open time to do the exposure(n) reconstruction (overlapping the otherwise unused processing time while exposing the next frame), thus no extra delay.
