I was just pulling latest git, and saw in the log that Hy has added a clipping indicator for overexposed pixels to the FITSViewer. Of course I immediately had to try this.
Needless to say, it works like a charm (both mono and color) and indeed is one of the things I really missed so far.

Thank you Hy!

(Yet Another Extremely Useful Hy Addition)

I tried this on Saturday as well. Nice work Hy, and thank you for the useful toys!

Thank you two for your comments! Always appreciate them.

I had intended to start a forum thread once I was sure this made the latest nightly (it was not included in 3.5.0 but should appear in 3.5.1), but thanks for saving me the effort.

I guess all I want to add was my initial intention was to make the clipped pixels blink, like it might on a DSLR's display, but at least on first blush it wasn't obvious how to do that without adding significant overhead, so I just made them red, and figured one "blink manually" if desired. If you are using a laptop (either directly connected to KStars or over VNC etc) then typing control-L (lower case) should toggle the clipping feature, so that if you repeatedly hit control-L you'll see the clipped areas blink. Or, you can just turn it on/off with that keyboard shortcut.

NICE!
I had not realized that there was new Red Dot on the FITS viewer until I just read this post.
Fantastic!
