I do like the 'mark saturated pixels' feature in the FITS Viewer a lot - I use it to decide exposure times. Would it be possible to also add a row in the Statistics tab that tells how many pixels are actually saturated? That might help to further quantify how 'bad' the overexposure is.

I think that it will be better yet, to show this number on the status bar, below the image, every time you have the 'mark saturated pixels' option active

Not the worst idea either
Though that status line is already quite full. Probably it's no problem having it in both places?

I added the number of clipped pixels to the (crowded) status line, and Jasem merged the change 4 hours ago.
You might want to widen your fitsviewer if the status line is too full.

It is currently in the latest source code, and soon will be in the nightly (and eventually KStars 3.6.0).
It only appears when the clipping icon is activated. See the screenshot below.

Note: The definition of "clipped pixels" is hardcoded to be pixels whose values > 60000.

Wow, you guys are incredible. 2d 6h from wish to handing over the gift
Of course I have to immediately unwrap - eh, compile - it.

Thanks Hy!
