SharpCap Forums

Hi, SharpCap uses CxUSB.dll (you'll find it in the install folder, as well as gxusb.dll for the gx style cameras). We don't install a cxusb.ini file, but I guess you could create one and copy it to the SharpCap install folder and see if it works. You could use a tool like SysInternals ProcMon to mon...

Hi Harvey, If you are using the Deep Sky Sequence Planner then you should just be able to tick the 'Repeat the above capture steps' checkbox near the bottom and set the number of times to repeat. That puts all the capture list items into a repeat block when it converts the plan to actual sequencer s...

Hi Pierre, I wasn't expecting that sort of effect from the new Altair SDK, but maybe there was something that was previously restricting the maximum speed and now that is fixed? I don't have the Altair 178 model to test with, but I have another brand and my experience is that it will do about 50fps ...

Hi,

glad to hear that worked to get you going. I do have a fix now that will be in the next update, so you can go back to your proper language settings from next week!

cheers,

Hi Carlo, thanks for sharing - I do have a 1Mb limit on attachments to stop the forums being used as 'Astrobin for SharpCap'... It keeps the amount of data I have to backup under control ;) I see the issue with that image too - it's because the image is an RGB three channel image from live stacking,...

Hi Jacques, yes, it's an issue with the use of a ',' as the decimal separator :( SharpCap expects to find 3 numbers separated by commas in the first line of the log, but because PlateSolve2 has used the regional settings from your computer for formatting numbers and also uses a ',' to separate the v...

Hi Carlo,

can you share one of each sort of file so I can see if I can make it happen in testing please?

thanks,

Robin

Hi,

in theory, yes, but I would have to change the UI from being a simple text block to something more complex and write code to decide how to highlight different types of items. Very cool, but perhaps a lot of effort.

cheers,

Hi Mike, OK, I checked again with the processed image, exactly the same as you have in your screenshots. It looks like it is a bug with PlateSolve3 - I can get Astrotortilla and SharpSolve to solve that image and when I do that the annotations appear in the right place. When I change to PlateSolve3,...

Hi, I tried plate solving individual frames and also stacking, then plate solving the stack, and the labelling for NGC 6030 always showed up in the correct place, as shown below. Same results for PlateSolve3, Astrotortilla and SharpSolve Screenshot 2024-07-24 210354.jpg Did you have a mount connecte...
