Hello Kayman, I can answer your last question ... you can use the software PIPP for generating an AVI (or SER) film from a sequence of FITS. Or you can do the opposite ... in addition you can crop or modify other parameters. Download ... here for example: https://sites.google.com/site/astropipp/down...

Hello Robin, Yes, I remember the discussion about a "web" code doing this. My question was about if a "simple" way to communicate between 2 SharpCap was already possible. One application could be to start/stop several camera capture from one script. Or to synchronise a more scien...

Hello Colin, You can use either the SynScan(Pro) App or the GSServer. In both case, you need to start first the SynScan App or the GSserver.

Hello Lobo, Do you have the SkyWatcher ASCOM driver installed ? https://skywatcher.com/download/software/ascom-driver/ If you still use the hand controller and you want to connect the computer to the hand controller ... then select the corresponding driver.

Hello Robin, Nice new functions for a quick GOTO. One small thing ... can you modify the information "Plate Solve and Sync" in the real selection for the Plate Solve action ? In the example: "Sync mount and re-center target". So it could be simpler to know what is the actual sele...

Note that the line could be:

It works with or without the ":"

Hello Luca, Which focuser do you have ? Some focuser allows to set a focus position depending on the temperature. The difficulty is to have a refocus only between two images. SharpCap does not have this capability directly ... but you can write a script that perform a check of the temperature and th...
