SharpCap Forums

I wanted to give you an update on my progress - I now have successfully used ASCOM.DSLR.Camera for both my Canon RebelXS and Canon 70D - previously only the Canon RebelXS and not the Canon 70D connected properly - I was able to modify your last GitHub installment (2018) with only a few small changes...

Robin - In Sept 2019, I had described that with your help I was able to successfully compile and run your version of ASCOM.DSLR for the Canon Rebel XS camera. However I was unable to run the same version for the Canon 70D - recently I have tried testing different Canon EDSDK.dll in recompiled versio...

Robin FYI ASCOM.DSLR will "not" work on my Canon Rebel XS if Canon "Mirror lockup" is "Enable" - works with "Disable" Finally had a clear night to test your version of ASCOM.DSLR with the Canon Rebel XS (Mirror lockup Disable) - you were right - Sharpcap works...

Robin - I have run more test with SharpCap and ASCOM.DSLR - I can run your version of ASCOM.DSLR - capture several frames and stop the frame capture by deselecting the ASCOM.DSLR option - images are saved as Raw in the Pictures directory - can SharpCap use these RAW frames to polar align? I have not...

Robin - I have continued to work with and look up references for ASCOM.DSLR - I found an older forum topic : ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************* 2018Aug22 by admin : I ha...

Robin - again thanks - I am now able to recompile your version of ASCOM.DSLR in Visual Studio 2019 - I have done as you suggested (regasm in .NET) to confirm and see (regedit) that the dlls are registered - Unfortunately still no connection with Sharpcap and ASCOM.DSLR with my cameras - my only opti...

thanks to Robin and Turfpit - I have found the camera saved profiles (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SharpCap\CaptureProfiles)- I see that with cameras that work there is an autosave file - but none for ASCOM.DSLR - perhaps because Sharpcap does not connect to ASCOM.DSLR? - I have started to us...

Robin - thank you for the quick and detailed reply - I understand your points 1,2 and 3 - I have used the folder monitor to input jpeg files (from Stellarium screen captures) to successfully test the polar align option - my only unanswered question is #4 - where is the file that saves Sharpcap setti...

Thank you for the previous reply - I understand that you have tried and posted an update to ASCOM.DSLR on GitHub and that you probably do not have time to investigate more - however I was hoping that you can provide me with more info to point me in the right direction - I hope you will answer my que...

Canon SDK with ASCOM driver I have been trying to connect both my Canon 70D and Canon Rebel XS cameras to Sharpcap following information described in several forums I have installed the latest version of Sharpcap(v3.2.6086) with ASCOM 6.4.63.0 and ASCOM.DSLR 6.3 drivers After opening then closing th...
