Coming soon in OscarWatch SSTV: a big round of decoder work aimed at satellite passes. Weak signals, fades, and pictures caught halfway through all get handled better. A quick look at what's on the way 🧵📡
📐 Fix slant by clicking the top and bottom of an edge that should be straight.
▶️ Decode last session again lets you retry a pass straight away with different settings. Martin M3/M4 and Scottie S3/S4 are added too.
Using OscarWatch and need a hand? 🛰️

DXChrono Desktop 1.6.3 is out. Display on a Pi behind the telly? You can now change its settings from your phone or laptop over your home network. Pair with a PIN, edit your cluster, watch list and satellites, and it all updates live. No keyboard needed.

SSTV sync in OscarWatch is improved. A noisy sync pulse was splitting in two, so a Robot 36 picture could be read as Robot 72. Those pieces are joined again and the mode stays right.
What happens after a weekend with @Charlie1tgy building a remote control interface for DXChrono Desktop so you can configure it using the web browser.
Working the ARISS SSTV event this weekend? OscarWatch Tracker handles the Doppler and decodes the images, so there's no Doppler.SQF to fiddle with. Post your best ISS decode below 👇
I'm away contesting, but I'll reshare the best ones when I'm back.

One more stable release of Cloudlog Aurora V1 is coming at the end of next week. After that, the next version will run on Windows, Mac and Linux, which is a huge step forward. Aurora's code is also getting a proper tidy-up, and once that's done, it'll be open-sourced.
New to Cloudlog Aurora? It's the desktop companion for Cloudlog that links your radio, rotator and CW keyer to your logbook. Find out more at aurora.cloudlog.org
