Re: Weird behavior SC 4.1.11824
Hi Anthony, do you have the option in live stacking to 'Only stack while guiding is active' switched on the the live stack guiding tab? I think that might be the cause of the first frame being dropped... In your log, I can see that the first 240s frame after focusing starts at 23:00:12. You start li...

Re: Cooler Power not switched on after USB disconnect
Hi Menno,
I have an 071C, so I can have a play with that to see if I can work out what is going on. A first guess is that flipping the cooler to 'Off' and then back to 'On' may fix things without needing to restart - I have seen that sort of issue pop up before.
cheers,
Robin

Re: QHY GPS Updates in 4.1.12174
Hi Jean-Francois, oops - I didn't test with a username/password needed, only to press 'No' on the allow changes. I can fix that by handling the error. Interesting that the resulting offset is slightly different. I am doing the same calculation on the SharpCap side to work out how much offset needs t...

Re: Import Settings
Hi Louis,
ah, OK. There's a better option for that - you can mave multiple independent SharpCap configurations using the /instance command line parameter. See https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#Comman ... 0Arguments for more info.
cheers,
Robin

QHY GPS Updates in 4.1.12174
I have made a couple of updates to the GPS code this time around - I don't think they will have significant effect in the 'happy path' everything is working fine case, but they may change how problem situations are reported/dealt with. First, the 'Set PC Time to GPS Time' button no longer requires S...

Re: Locked Auto Stretch can't be released
Hi Don, the log doesn't show any 'smoking guns' that might point to the cause. I had a dig around the code and it looks just possible that the state of the buttons on screen might get out-of-sync with the underlying functionality in some cases - I have tweaked the code to remove that possibility, so...

Re: Interaction between FWHM and frame brightness estimates
Hi folks, yes, this is currently a problem - the code looks for stars in each frame, discards those that are too bright (near saturation) or too dim and then averages the FWHM measurement of the remaining ones to get the value. If the brightness changes then it might pick more, fewer or different st...

Re: Version 4.1 plate solving issues
Hi Trev, well, glad to hear that the plate solve is working now, but a bit of a mystery about the settings... What's supposed to happen is that the settings from 4.0 should automatically be brought over to 4.1 the first time you run 4.1 - after that the 4.1 and 4.0 settings are separate (apart from ...

Re: Camera Rotators
Hi, oddly, enabling the alt-az compensation function of a rotator isn't something that is possible via the ASCOM rotator specification. There's no way to ask the driver to turn that function on or off, and there's no way to ask the rotator to rotate at a specific speed, so you can't have SharpCap do...

Re: Import Settings
Hi Louis, glad to hear that it wasn't a problem - the reload is required to ensure that there aren't any parts of SharpCap that have loaded the old settings and then might keep using them after the import. I guess it would be possible to have a command line argument to load the settings (there isn't...
