🚀 SmartEye Firmware 1.4.0 is here!
This update brings auto-focusing, a refreshed web experience, and several usability improvements for smoother observing.
✨ Highlights:
* Fine Auto Focus – SmartEye can now focus automatically using a connected Alpaca motor focuser. It samples star sharpness across the focus range, moves to the best position and verifies the result. Press the Astro Crown to cancel at any time.
* Alpaca Focuser Support – Works with ASCOM Alpaca–compatible focusers, such as the Pegasus Astro FocusCube 3.
* Stacking Progress Overlay – Live stacking progress is now shown on the display if desired.
* System Update Progress – The update screen now shows the progress of a system update. Available from the next update after installing 1.4.x.
* Dark Frames Saved With Images – Dark frames are now exported to the image folder, so each set of raw images always has the correct darks.
* Redesigned Web Dashboard – Refreshed interface with a modern, streamlined look.
* Connectivity Tutorial in Dashboard – Step-by-step guide to help you connect and configure your SmartEye.
