Re: Plate Solving Issues

Hi, which option you using to start the plate solving? To get the re-centring to work you have to use the button in the mount controls. The one in the tools menu deliberately only reports on the position of the mount – it takes no action. Cheers, Robin To start plate solving, I click on Tools->Plat...

Re: ASTAP default field of view

Related to FOV setting for ASTAP, when I run Plate Solve, it takes 7 minutes. Running standalone it take less than 7s for the same image. The image FOV is 0.51º. I'm using G18. Image exposure is 30s with a gain of 180 for the QHY128C. Plenty of stars. The search view setting in ASTAP for standalone ...

Re: Plate Solving Issues

Plate solve succeeds, but mount does not recenter with any settings in Plate Solve. Would like to use "Sync mount and re-center target." Also tried "Offset the mount position to center the target." Don't really know what the difference is. Losmandy Titan 50 mount, Gemini II contr...

Re: No image using two different Atik cameras

The problem is with the "Atik Camera (Experimental)" selection.
If I select the other Atik Camera option, it works.

No image using two different Atik cameras

I have a Windows 10 Pro computer with the latest updates. I am using version 3.2.6317.0 of SharpCap Pro. I am using either an Atik 490ex color camera or an Atik 460ex color camera. I am not getting an image from either camera. Both cameras work fine using different capture applications (SGP and Infi...

Live stack from folder not working

I have two computers both running Window 10 Pro. I am using the latest release of SharpCap Pro 64-bit on both computers. One computer works just fine when doing a live stack from a folder. The other one doesn't. On the computer that doesn't work, after selecting the images, no image shows up and the...

Re: Mallincam Universe - anyone get it working?

Almost sorry I tried this. Now I can't get the camera to work at all.
Going to start from scratch installing the software - again.

Re: Mallincam Universe - anyone get it working?

Very helpful. I've been using the 64-bit version of Sharpcap Pro. Will try the 32-bit version next.

Re: Mallincam Universe - anyone get it working?

I did exactly that, and it had no effect.
I first reinstalled ASCOM platform (repair), then reinstalled the Mallincam ASCOM driver.
What I didn't do, and I'll try, is to uninstall everything and do a fresh install.

Thanks.

Mallincam Universe - anyone get it working?

I see "Mallincam Universe" in the camera list. When I access it, I get an error message. This may be due to my having installed the ASCOM driver from the Mallincam website. I'm going to try reinstalling the default ASCOM stuff. Has anyone ever got the Mallincam Universe to actually work? H...
