Hi all, I use SharpCap for precise polar alignment. My last alignment 1 month ago showed a total failure of 6 arcsec. Nevertheless during observation stars drift. During 5 h 18 min the drift is RA 2.0 arcsec DEC 4.2 arcmin! This differences are measured between first and last picture using astrometr...

Hi, thank you for your prompt reply. The strange is, that I did it already several times with this FOV, sometimes with even worth sky conditions (small cloudiness etc.). This time the sky was very good. I standardly use plate solving of other software - it works within seconds. In the manual is writ...

Hi, today I upgraded from 3.3 to 4.0 32-bit version, my CCD: G2-1600 32-bit drivers (Ascom and native). In version 3.3 the G2-1600 was shown with native driver - and as USB Moravian which did not work like now.
Please help. rfa

Hi Robin, I have installed and tired SharpCap vers. 3.3. Now the G2-1600 is known as well as native or Ascom driver. Now it works fine. BUT the filter wheel does not work and cannot connect; as well using native or Ascom driver. The message which appears is the same like with the camera driver earli...

Hi Robin, already tried the 3.3 version; camera connections works also with Win10 native driver. Connect to SiTech mount controller works, also the connection to my ASA ACC ascom fokuser. BUT I CANNOT CONNECT MY FILTER-WHEEL, either through the native nor through ascom driver. Always receive this fa...

Hi Robin, I have had installed a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of the G2-1600 and I had installed SharpCap 3.1, 3.2, 3.3. Tonight it came into my mind, delete the 32-bit SIPS and all SharpCap installations. Just left the 64-bit SIPS with Ascom driver and reinstalled SharpCap 3.3. In the camera window ...
