Re: New mount and how to connect sharpcap
Hi, ouch, that sounds like a tricky one to solve... There are plenty of ASCOM drivers out there for the Meade protocol, but they all assume that they will be talking to a serial port (or perhaps a USB one) rather than communicating over WIFI. Can you confirm what device you have that controls your m...

Re: Moravian Instruments C1x/C3-61000 and 26000
Hi,
no problem - SharpCap has no way to find out which filter the camera is on, so it has to put it to a known filter (zero) and then keep track of the movements. However, if there are no filters then no need to do that!
cheers,
Robin

Re: Problem with livestacks - dark subtraction - in EEA
Hi, there was a recent thread on here about problems with darker pixels in the stack caused by a rogue hot pixel in the darks - just in one dark was enough to boost the average pixel value at that point and then the brighter pixel in the dark cut dark holes in the image. I have added a new option in...

Re: Problem with livestacks - dark subtraction - in EEA
Hi, thanks to Tim sending me a batch of images to test on, I can confirm that in his case, the issue is hot pixels in the light frames that are not present in the dark frames. For instance, there is a pixel at x=1504, y=964 with values in the region of 7000 in each of the light frames. The surroundi...

Re: GoTo : wrong coordinates for targets
Hi Mike,
glad to hear that it worked! Now all you need is some clear skies!

Re: Weird behavior SC 4.1.11824
Hi, I had a look at the focus graphs recorded in your log. In most cases the problem seemed to be that the scan was starting too close to the point of best focus, so that there were only a small number (2 or 3) points being measured before best focus is reached. SharpCap is looking for (ideally) thr...

Re: Version 4.1 plate solving issues
Hi Trev, it's supposed to keep the existing plate solver when you upgrade as long as the selected one is actually installed on the machine. If you upgrade and have ansvr selected before the upgrade, but ansvr isn't there, it's supposed to change to SharpSolve. Maybe that's not quite working right al...

Re: GoTo : wrong coordinates for targets
Hi, no, nor did I before today! Turns out that the 'digit grouping character' which is used to separate groups of 3 digits to make them more readable is a comma in German and a space in French. So, the number 'one billion' would be English : 1,000,000,000 French : 1 000 000 000 German : 1.000.000.00...

Re: Problem with livestacks - dark subtraction - in EEA
Hi Michael, interesting about the 294 - it's an odd sensor as the real resolution is 2x higher in both directions and by default it operates in a binned mode to get the ~11Mp resolution. On the mono cameras you can usually unlock a high resolution 47Mp mode (in theory the colour cameras can too, but...

Re: GoTo : wrong coordinates for targets
Oooh, interesting....
I had already got some code that handled this problem in the case of French number formats, so when I tested those, it works, but it breaks for German ones!
I wonder why...
