Re: 16bit and 32bit files
Hi Tim, getting the 32-bit files is a live stacking feature - when you are stacking, by adding more frames you add bitdepth to the stacked image. For instance if you have stacked 32 frames you get an extra 5 bits of data (2 to the power 5 is 32) - with your 14 bit camera that would mean that the sta...

Re: SVBony SV305 (Older Non Pro) not natively detected
Hi Phil, OK, all looking pretty reasonable there - I think that the bulk of the differences from mine are either related to USB port numbers (not significant) or because you have yours plugged into a USB3 port (again, shouldn't make a difference). It looks like the driver is loaded correctly and the...

Re: SharpCap Pro - New Pricing April 2024
Hi,
no, nothing to do or worry about if you already have a lifetime license - those licenses will continue to work.
cheers,
Robin

Re: Time Sync from PC to Mount
Hi, in the latest versions of SharpCap 4.1, SharpCap will check the mount time when connecting and show a warning if the mount time and PC time differ by more than 60 seconds. With the warning, you would get an option to try to set the mount time from the PC time. However, that working depends on th...

Re: TargetInvocationException on Goto
Hi, yes, that makes perfect sense now... I added one line of code to set the mount to tracking before setting the rate - seemed harmless enough and a good thing to do in case the mount wasn't already tracking at all. The problem was, in some circumstances turning on the tracking would get a bit conf...

Re: TargetInvocationException on Goto
Hi Geoff, I think I might be starting to see where this is coming from - it is sending a custom tracking rate as part of turning the tracking on, and that custom rate is the -15.??? one that is out of range. I can sort of see why, but not quite sure what has changed yet, but got it down to 1 or 2 pl...

Re: extend catalogue
Hi, I think the most likely cause would be the minimum altitude filter as shown here : https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#Choosing%20a%20Target%20from%20the%20Full%20Catalog Note that the first dropdown of common targets as shown here - https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#Choosing%20a%20Target - only con...

Re: Feature Tracking bright area during capture
Hi Bertrand, thanks for sharing the files - I think I understand a bit about what is going on now... Looking at the bright frames in the image, they seem to occur regularly about every 115 frames (at frames 66, 189, 297, 412, 526, 641, etc). At the frame rate of 87fps of the file, that corresponds t...

Re: extend catalogue
Hi, you can see how to create and use custom catalogs here : https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#Custom%20Catalogs%20and%20Objects However, NGC3621 is in the default catalog (I just checked), so I suspect that it didn't appear in the list of targets because one of the filters on altitude, brightness, e...

Re: lightning bolt and circle arrow buttons no longer work
Hi, have you turned off the stretch functionality there (either delibrately or accidentally)? That would disable the auto stretch and reset buttons. The button above the auto-stretch is the on/off button for the stretch - if it is green the stretch is turned on, if red it is turned off. The idea of ...
