Jacques,
You need to download the latest version V2.2.1b
"Astronomical Spectroscopy - The Final Frontier" - to boldly go where few amateurs have gone before....
"Imaging Sunlight - Using a digital Spectroheliograph" - Springer

Hello Ken,

I downloaded the latest one and tried it last night.
It works fine and the sticky function is very useful to keep the star on the slit.
I think it would be nice if one could adjust the brightness and contrast levels.
For now, it is automatic and in case of relatively bright star, one could not see the fainter ones.

Cheers,
