Cool shot Robin!!
I did see it here too in the night of Friday to Saturday and my mouth was open the whole time. Even teared up, so much it impressed me.
And no desire to capture it whatsoever: it was 40 minutes of just witnessing this with my own eyes

Re: SharpCap Pro Memory Limits
Hello and welcome By the look if this, this is the free version of SharpCap. If you check under Help in the menu bar, there should be a SharpCap Pro Licence part. Check if that is there and if so, see what it says. If it's not there or info missing, you can head over to https://store.astrosharp.co.u...

Re: Image Problem

Re: Image Problem
Hello and welcome
Could you make a screenshot of SharpCap interface with the settings you used? That way we can compare better.

Re: Field of view too small - sun, moon too big
Hi and welcome. With software there is no way to alter that. You indeed need either a 0.5 Barlow or another camera. If you go to https://astronomy.tools/calculators/field_of_view/ , under the tab Imaging Mode , you can see an estimate of what you need. Just fill in your specs there and choose the su...

Re: New Feature : SharpSolve - SharpCap's new built-in plate solver
Hi Pat and welcome
What happens a lot (happend to me too ), is that in the SharpCap Settings under the Plate Solve tab, a focal length is defined.
So maybe in your case too? If so, set it Do Not Use and try it again. I use that setting too with my 2000mm scope and it's just as fast.

HI
First thing that comes to mind, is that the Invert Display of the Display Histogram Stretch is active?
It's the button circled in red in the screenshot below.

Re: Added magnification when trying to view the sun
I just checked and indeed you will have only a part of the sun on monitor with your telescope and camera combination. On the screenshot below that's roughly the dark blue rectangle. It's called a FOV (Field Of View). There is nothing you can do with software to change that. But there is a piece of h...
