Hi,
Depending on the focal reducer I use ( and the number of extensions tube ), my field of view varies between 0.4° and 0.6°.
It might be very useful to be able to specify an interval (range) for search. In my example search betwen 0.4 ° and 0.6 °.
Best regards,

For FOV in auto it makes of 30%, so it will be within 15% of the actual FOV during searching. It would be better if Sharpcap would allow manual setting of the FOV.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply. I am not using astap with sharpcap. I have a manual dobsonian mount. I know it's not the most common and the easiest :)
I use astap to identify objects when I have a doubt or to orient myself in the sky.
Giving an range in the field of view would make it possible to resolve more quickly than in auto while having a range a little more flexible than a fixed field of view.
Best regards
