Re: [RESOLVED] SharpCap 4.1/4.0 fails to start. No errors are shown, and /dump option produces no .dmp or log files.
Hi, good to hear that you tracked down the cause, which is definitely a weird one. I would only expect that setting to be altered on a PC used for software development. If you haven't used your PC in this way and have no idea how this has become set, it would be worth doing a full malware scan of th...

Hi, Ok, thanks for that - the place where it stops narrows it down to 2 or 3 lines of code, but no obvious reasons why those lines of code would fail for you but not for everyone else :( I will add some more diagnostic checks in that area for the next update on Monday that will hopefully detect the ...

Re: Weird behavior SC 4.1.11824
Hi, Ok, so I have tried to repro the issue with the missing first frame after exposure change today and the first annoying thing is that I can't repro the issue :(. What I have learned along the way is that it doesn't look like this is todo with PHD2 guiding after all - if guiding is lost and that c...

Hi, sorry to hear that you are having such an awkward problem. Based on the fact that you are not seeing a dump file created and the way that you see the hourglass briefly then nothing, I think SharpCap may be failing very early in application startup - before things like the crash dumps or the log ...

Re: Polar Align - Auto-rotation of RA axis
Hi, I presume that normal buttons work when you use the iPad for remote connection, yes? How about the 'press and hold' buttons for moving the mount in the four directions? The mount ones work a bit differently from the polar alignment ones, so if one works and the other doesn't then I could change ...

Re: Focusing
Hi Geoff, The selection square shouldn't drift while you are focus scanning, but the image could drift depending on the type of telescope and focuser that you have. SCT telescopes are notorious for 'mirror shift' when the focus is adjusted meaning that will move on screen depending on the direction ...

Re: Question FWHM in Livestacking Status tab
Hi,
yes, it's in pixels - SharpCap rarely works in arc seconds, since that requires accurate knowledge of the focal length of the telescope, which often isn't available.
cheers,
Robin

Re: Weird behavior SC 4.1.11824
Hi Chris, a good question, and at the moment the 'good guiding' is determined by having guiding throughout the whole frame. I should probably adapt that, since the sequencer does a better job when capturing frames with guiding (uses a 5% threshold). On the other hand, the use case for capturing with...

Re: Solar Mosaic - Feedback
Hi Geoff, thanks for the positive feedback - good to hear that it worked nicely for you :) The best I can suggest for the naming for now is to deal with it via using filter names in the filename. Even if you are not using a real ASCOM filter wheel, you can set up SharpCap with a 'Manual Filter Wheel...

Re: Version 4.1 plate solving issues
Hi Trev, it shouldn't matter how you did the upgrade - the settings copy happens the first time you run SharpCap 4.1, not as part of the upgrade install. I thought that it was pretty much 'bomb proof', but difficult to be sure 100%. If you could find the first SharpCap log from running 4.1 for the v...
