SharpCap Forums

(am waiting for the clouds to pass eagerly so I try out my setup, but alas ....)

FYI - WIndows defender thinks SharpCap is a malicious trojan. Here's the info:

That's been my routine as well, at least that's what I attempt to do. I also have a StarSense. Perhaps I should have it do an auto-align first, and then slew to Polaris. Hopefully then it would be closer to Polaris than I am getting to. I have a AVX mount, and use the ST4 on the SSAG. PHD2 tries to ...

Thanks for the response. I am really new to all of this - just got my scope less than a month ago. So I am still learning all that I need to learn. In my naivety I was hoping that if I point it in the vicinity of Polaris, SharpCap would know where it was. I need to work on my rough PA skills. My iss...

It's working ok with PHD2, but not showing up in the Cameras menu. When I start up SharpCap, in the status bar (lower lef...
