Re: Pause after exposure in the Sequencer

Thanks Robin,
That will work well. I guess I didn't know there was a difference between the sequence planner and the editor. I thought they were sort of the same thing. I will need to educate myself on this. Thanks again for such an awesome program.

Pause after exposure in the Sequencer

Hello, I don't believe this is possible but it would be very helpful. I am using the Sequencer to capture expoplanet transits. I would like to capture, for example, a 30 second exposure every minute or two for 3 hours. Currently, all I can do is capture 30 seconds over and over for 3 hours and that ...

Re: Latest version 4.0 keeps disconnecting

Hey Robin,
I will experiment a little between 8 and 16 bit and see what happens. The only real variable that I can see so far is the update to SharpCap.
But I will pound on it a little and see what happens.
Thanks
Dave

Re: Latest version 4.0 keeps disconnecting

Well there seems to be a real problem with the 120MM. It connected but no data displayed and the histogram was empty. The logs shows dropped frames then SC crashed/closed.
Log file attached.

Re: Latest version 4.0 keeps disconnecting

Hey Robin, I banged on it a bit tonight and could not get it to fail. So not sure what is going on. I will play with it some more and see if I can make it happen again. I am now suspecting that the USB cable was loose and the connection was intermittent so I am pretty sure it isn't SharpCap. Thanks ...

Latest version 4.0 keeps disconnecting

Hello, I am running Win 10 Pro. I was using 3.2.6482 and I have been running a 120MM mini for plate solving and a 178MM or 294MC for my main OTA. All ZWO. I can run two instances of SC simultaneously connecting to each without any issue. Just updated to 4.x and I am getting camera disconnects freque...

Re: Darks not working

Thanks Robin,
Yes, I think I need to look into my PE and see if it can be minimized.

Re: Darks not working

Hey Robin,
That would be great. I will certainly test it and let you know.

What about my drift graph that I included above? Does that tell you anything about what I could be doing wrong with my mount?
Thanks
Dave

Darks not working

Hello, I have long struggled with darks. I am using SC Pro 3.2.6383 with my Evo 8 + 0.63 reducer + 294MC Pro My darks are matched for gain, resolution, color space, temp, exposure and flip. The hot pixels show up with or without flats. And they seem to be worse without the dark so it appears to be d...

Re: Darks and the "Flip" setting

Hey Dave, I don't want to waste forum time on this until I research it a bit more. I used to use my Hyperstar alot and think the image scale probably just hid the hot pixels so I simply wasn't seeing them and I never needed darks. Now I do alot of things at longer focal lengths and the hot pixels ar...
