Re: Height and/or Width Zoom

Hello Robin,

Thanks for this new choices.

But one thing ... it is now necessary to scroll in the list between the upper or lower selection.
Can you modify the view so that the full list is all the time visible ? (so no more scrolling).

Regards,
Jean-Francois

Re: First image won't update when capturing.

Hello Robin, Thanks for the information. I downloaded the dll and copy it in the SharpCap folder. It works a little bit better. The continuous double exposure disappears ... but not for the first image after a change from Live to Still mode. But, I remark a strange behaviour ... Can you confirm it w...

Hello, Yesterday evening I did other tests with a different computer (fist test was with W11, yesterday with W10) and with different cameras (second QHY174, QHY268 and old QHY5-II). The QHY268 or the QHY5-II was working correctly in Live and Still mode and both modes with the Live Stack. It was not ...

Re: Weird behavior SC 4.1.11824

Hello, I can confirm one thing with the version 4.1.12100 and the long time after the capture of one image. It was yesterday evening not possible to use the Live Stack. I wanted to image with 20 s per exposure. But, SharpCap was adding another 20 to 25 seconds after the 20 s exposure. I tested with ...

Re: Show UCAC4 stars in the Deep Sky Annotation

Hello, I search a little bit deeper ... I found the "^" character. Add a line in the script: UCAC4_script_path = UCAC4_script_path.Replace(" ", "^ ") # Test UCAC4_read.exe progam, if exists and which version if os.path.exists(UCAC4_script_path + "\\UCAC4_read.exe&q...

Re: Show UCAC4 stars in the Deep Sky Annotation

Hello Hiroyuki, Maybe the best news of the day ... I think that I found the reason of the problem. In fact .. all is working properly ... except that you have a blank in your directory :-) I remark that you saved the script in a subfolder of "SharpCap Captures" ... that is the error. The r...

Re: Show UCAC4 stars in the Deep Sky Annotation

Hello Hiroyuki, OK, the UCAC4_read.exe works ... at least it shows the version. For the UCAC4 catalogue ... it must be the original version (I mentioned it several times). I use the C-code from the DVD to read the binary data from the files. The UCAC4 catalogue is used by other planetarium software....
