Beta36 of OpenLiveStacker

• Experimental support of indi mounts

v 36.1:

• Fixed poor behaviour of slew controls (selection, accidental moments etc.)
• Control buttons size increased
• Improved mount settings tab
• Added alt/az display on screen if requested
• Yet another workaround of telescope_simulator crash.

Beta35 of OpenLiveStacker

New:

• ASI ZWO SDK Updated to latest version
• Changed parameters of dynamic tracing to seconds instead of frames
• Improved behaviour with dynamic tracking of small steps - more tolerance

Bugs

• Fixed bug of hidden delay when set but not shown

Linux only:

• Added support of indi and indigo cameras - experimental

Beta34 of OpenLiveStacker

New Features:

• Added support of dynamic non-tracking stacking for "eyepiece-like" live view
• Added support of image processing pipeline memory limit - to prevent overload of memory when large frames are used
• ToupTek SDK updated to v57

Bugfixes:

• Fixed deadlock in Android camera - when stream is changed while image is being processed

Beta33 of OpenLiveStacker

Bug fixes:

• Fix progressively increasing delay in live view with some DSLRs (Nikon)
• Fixed #100 - registration tracking wasn't reset after pause

New features

• Added inter frame delay support for DSLR

Android:

• upgrade to SDK 34
• Reduced APK/download size (strip...)

OpenLiveStacker beta30

New Features

• Added support of automatic hot pixels removal as alternative/addition to dark frames, supported on mono and raw streams
• Improved auto-stretch, lower boundary is now tighter and more accurate, fixed issue of incorrect boundary in some cases

Bug fixes:

• Fixed missing filtering of large registration steps bug introduced in beta29

Android specific:

• Moving to target SDK to 34 - for complacency with Google Play Store requirements

Linux specific:

• Added support of FITS for watch directory driver
• Added support of keeping files in watch directory driver

OpenLiveStacker beta29 - planetary stacking

New Experimental Features

• Added implementation of planetary stacking - with post-processing based on Richardson-Lucy deconvolution and sharpening
• Added support of image quality filters: sharpness, brightness, registration quality

New features

• The post processing and stacking are separated into two different threads allowing to stack at much higher frame-rates
• Post processing now can skip frames if more than one are already for post processing to improve latency and performance
• Added logging to UVC driver

Bug fixes

• Support of UVC devices that do not report default or resolution values is added.

OpenLiveStacker - beta28

Fixing cases when UVC camera does not provide default value - substitute with current
Improved error handling

OpenLiveStacker beta27

New features

• Added support of linear gradient removal caused by light pollution.

Bug fixes:

• Changed the depth of computing queue from 20 to 10 frames to prevent memory overloading under high loads.
• ToupTek driver fixes
  • Fixed ROI calculations when binning in use
  • Removed frame rate limits for future solar/planetary imaging
  • Removed RGB image from mono cameras
• Now frame-rate limits are are not shown if they aren't known
• Fixed "json" error - in case of no camera detected - now proper error is given

OpenLiveStacker - beta26

New features:

• Added support of removing calibration frames
• Added support of mono8 to UVC
• Show thumbnail automatically when working with delay so you don't need to open one

Bug fixes:

• Fixed incorrect synthetic frames stacking when pause arrives

OpenLiveStacker - beta25

Changelog:

• Fixed bug #78 Starting stacking stream for DSLR/gphoto can get stuck sometimes
• Fixed but #77 Default Image format for Android camera likely too large for phone to process
• Added support of synthetic exposure - adding adjecent frames as they are single exposure - it is useful for cases max exposure is too short and there is not enough signal to even perform registration, for example smartphone cameras or UVC cameras like sv105
• Updated touptek SDK to version 20231210
