Hi,
to get the number of frames that the camera has processed since being opened, use
Code: Select all
print SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CapturedFrameCount
Note that this is not the number saved to file - it's the number that have come from the camera to the application.
Is that enough to do what you want?
cheers,
Robin

Hi,
I advanced with a script that shifts the ROI after saving npic images by npan pixels.
This algorithm makes it much easier to set the ROI offset speed.
The speed can be changed not only with npic and npan, but also gently with exposure and turbo USB.
The moon is the week of evening shooting.
Happy hunting, dobsonists.
Code: Select all
import time
import clr
start = 0
end = 1024
npic = 1 #pictures
npan = 1 #pan inc
pan = start
SharpCap.SelectedCamera.PrepareToCapture ()
SharpCap.SelectedCamera.RunCapture ()
SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Pan.Value = start
pic = SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CapturedFrameCount
picc = pic + npic
while pan <end:
while pic <=picc:
pic = SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CapturedFrameCount
pan = pan + npan
SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Pan.Value = pan
picc = pic + npic
SharpCap.SelectedCamera.StopCapture ()
SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Pan.Value = start

Hi,
today I did the first sharp test of the script.
I used Prokyon (alt 40 °).
The moon is out of sight. Observation deck - balcony.
The script stopped the movement of the star very well and allowed to take 2000 images.
I easily adjusted the speed of the ROI by the length of the exposure.
I am satisfied.

Thanks to the script, every dobson becomes a planetary special.
