Changes since V0.9.3:

  • Introduction of auto-alignment. A new GUI button “Auto-Alignment on/off” was added. Several new parameters were included in the configuration dialog window.
  • New option to record more than one video at each tile location.
  • New option to focus on a star rather than on a lunar surface area.
  • Introduction of four protocol levels with increasing level of detail. Also, readability of the protocol file was improved.
  • A new landmark can be selected during the recording workflow without invalidating the tiles recorded so far. This works with both manual and automatic alignment.

Before installation of this new version, de-install any earlier MoonPanoramaMaker version using the “Uninstall” entry in the program menu. The Windows installer below has been tested with Windows 7 Professional and Windows 10 Professional (version 1703). When the installation is complete, please do not forget to replace the MoonPanoramaMaker plugin in FireCapture's plugin directory with the new version.

For details please refer to the user guide document. A link to it is contained in the Windows start menu after installation.

Important notice for Windows 10 users: If you have installed the Windows "Fall Creators Update" (Windows 10 version 1709), you have to run MoonPanoramaMaker in compatibility mode. For details, refer to this discussion on "Cloudy Nights", starting December 06: https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/538627-moonpanoramamaker-released-as-open-source-software/page-2. On earlier versions of Windows 10, MoonPanoramaMaker will run out-of-the-box.
