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
As I am out of the shack until Monday, I would suggest anyone needing support for OscarWatch to use oscarwatch.org/support
Else you can give me a point on HF; I will be operating as GM5G :)
If you use OscarWatch SSTV, remember you can upload images directly to Oscarwatch.org for safekeeping; enable it in settings.

I've spent most of the evening writing the Cloudlog documentation, bringing it up to date.
Still images to add, and a few people are proofreading (in progress). Hopefully, it will go live next week, along with a new dedicated website for it.
