Hi Robin, Thanks for this, For sure, I always run a 1 image type trial with each filter and 1 dark acquisition prior to running a full night time imaging sequence. I'm looking forward to testing the "stop running steps" in a full sequence next imaging session. I might program it to fail, i...

Hi Robin, Please see the attached .scs file. I added a "Stop running these steps" when 5 degrees past meridian on the lights capture block. My thoughts are that if I experience a similar PHD2 star loss, the program would jump to the next block "park" and commence the shoot darks ...

Hi Robin, Thank you for the speedy response, very much appreciated. The time step limitation could certainly be used to prevent a telescope / mount crash. I can operate ~15 degrees past meridian when imaging near zenith, (worst case scenario). For clarification, will there be an impact on the dither...

Hi folks, Firstly, I'm a big SC fan and truly appreciate the ease and functionality of the program. I had a first time ever issue whilst running an imaging session using SC sequencer.

Hi folks, thanks for the speedy responses, much appreciated. I believe I'm setting up the camera profile via the inputs when using the basic Deep Sky Sequence Planner. I then conduct an edit using SC Sequence Editor to allow my scope to park prior to taking darks. The reason for this is my current t...

I'm now using SC Sequence Editor with very positive results, I have two questions, hoping someone can assist. 1. When planning a sequence I enter the various camera settings, FITS, exposure, gain etc. All's ...

Hi Robin, 100% I reloaded the ASCOM platform and the respective drivers and all returned to normal operations. I just want to say thank you and let you know how much I enjoy using the SharpCap software. The layout, functionality and the best part, PLATE SOLVING are outstanding. Thanks again, I reall...

Hi Folks, I'm experiencing an odd software issue. I have been using SharpCap pro for a couple years now with no issues regarding equipment communication. During a recent imaging session I could not connect my SC software to my Pegasus rotator or focus cube. Note that my ZSO camera, ZSO filter wheel ...
