can not even change the language of the program to English. My Windows is Spanish and I guess that is why FireCapture assumes I want a Spanish version of FireCapture. Honestly I do not know who tranlated it into Spanish but I do not understand that Spanish ... :shock:
there is a way, I once had to ask Torsten how to do it (needed English screenshots for my SSM documentation)

You will have to edit the file start.bat in the FC installation folder. insert "-Duser.language=en" in the line beginning with start.

Hi Paul,

Thank you very much.

Why does a programmer assume that a user with a XXX language system wants the program to be in the XXX system language ...

For me the whole Astronomy Enchilada works best in English even being a native German and a good Spanish speaker ...

ROFLMAO

Because "people" ask for that. I remember when FC was English only.

Why don't you change the Windows Language to English? Solves most of these problems.

I do not change it to English because my Windows is not Multi language capable because I already tried to install other languages into my Windows and it does not allow it ...

That is why :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi Everybody and especially Paul,

I apologize for having lost my temper and patience.

I tried to change again the System language and this time it was possible.

Thank you very very very much Paul. I owe you some beer, can it be some bottles of Chimay ?


;)

Hi James,

If you get the opportunity you should try at least once a Bottle of Chimay blonde beer ...

You will not regret it ...

Thanks for the advice, Rainer. Germans really know their beer. I'll have to see if I can find it.

Hi,

"... and the Waltz goes on" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSlKKC_H9Qw

Yesterday I finished another focuser for the telescope as there is a 100% need for it. This is a stripped down ZWO EAF focuser which I took out of the original housing as it is too big in order to be able to fit it where it is now.

Now I need to solve some mount trouble in regard to slewing or I will use the simple solution and go in front of the Sun, stop the tracking and let the Sun cross the Sol'Ex and record +.ser fiels at low speed. This has worked best today.

I was able to test it after having gone through the checklist if everything works. Now I have there 3 ZWO EAF focusers as well as 2 NHSA drivers for the etalons as well as Grating and camera focus on the Sol'Ex :shock:

Here a more or less round Sun using Sun moving in front of telescope. Again also some trouble of USB speed which I also have to solve even having bought a new activew USB 3.0 cable.

Lots of work in the passed days but improving sharpness after being able to focus the telescope too.
