Hi Alberto;

Your images look really good.

Anyway this release is very very interesting for the de-rotation too even if i love the ROI and the Sharpness.

I think that for a very reliable response i should use it on many kind of movies.

Just to clarify, I doubt if the de-rotation will work on anything except discrete stars. It uses a simple centroid algorithm to identify the star location and does no pixel matching at all. So unless you present it with a star like image, it likely will not work with anything else.

Report About TIS Diagonal pattern:

By the way... after a very long training that i did to TIS technicians (before i learned by myself how to get the pattern with Windows too) they were able to get the diagonal pattern on my old camera.

For two or three attempts they answered that they weren't able to get the pattern and they told me that the cause was or a defect of Apple firewire power supply or radio interference at my house.

Well, after they got the pattern following my precise instruction they eventually answered that it is a problem with NO solution since they should redesign all the analog part of the cameras and that would need years and the result wouldn't be sure.

They suggested to keep the brightness at lower level...

So please take note you too and anyone is afflict by that 

Thanks for the update on that. Glad to hear you can duplicate it with their software, as they were initially saying it was an Astro IIDC problem (NOT), then a Mac HW problem (NOT) or radio interference problem (very very unlikely unless your using big magnetic or transmitting devices).
