Overlay reticle on live view #106

Open lfourquaux opened 3 days ago

lfourquaux commented 3 days ago

It would be nice to be able to toggle displaying a reticle on the live view. This would help aligning mounts through the camera. (It's probably unnecessary to state this explicitly, but the reticle should zoom and move with the image, not be overlaid on the zoomed image.) Thanks!

When camera is open/streaming generally there are two modes: stacking and live. During stacking you can open live view to show the real time input image to investigate the situation (if view moved etc, or correct the position

If you align or do anything else just don't stack.

Can you please explain in more details what do you mean?

Sorry, this was indeed unclear. I meant being able to overlay a reticle in live streaming mode, not during stacking.

overlay a reticle

Got you now. Yes this is something that can be useful. I'm actually working on indi porting to Android and mount support so you'll be able just plate solve and sync the mount.

But it is indeed a good idea. Need to see how to implement.
