SharpCap Forums

Robin, You have been very helpful and that is much appreciated. I want to recap before I truly panic. The session for which this thread was created was 'normal' by all my typical standards - no dew, no camera rotation, no cooling temp changes, etc. All was very consistent. Tonight, I went and took a...

Thank you, Robin. Is there a black level you recommend using? I have looked at a lot of sources and cannot find much, if anything, on this. I see some postings in the forum but am not able to make a correlation to my issue. Is this a setting that needs to be changed each session, each type of captur...

Robin, As a follow up to my post from a few minutes ago, I restacked multiple times, using only bias, then only dark, then only flat...etc. The red glow in the upper left did not show up until I added the flat. My flat looks similar to all my other flats I have ever taken and they have worked well. ...

Robin, Thank you for your insight. In regards to the cause of this, I recently had a session and ran across a similar issue. I am following the same process I have for the past couple of years and this seems to be a new issue. In the link below are: a light frame, flat, dark flat, master bias, 2 dar...

Last night I captured 81s x 180 subs of M81 with what appears to be really good data. I took my flats as I have been for 2 years now, same with bias and darks. The result shows several issues that I have never experienced, and I am having a hard time understanding what the cause is. With the excepti...

I have not been able to find the answer to this question: if I am in High Conversion mode, am I supposed to set the gain at 565 and it then converts to 282 (as some sites suggest) or am I supposed to set it at 282? I tried Altairs support with their Facebook site but got more confused after reading ...

I do not have that listed anywhere in the control panel on the right. I am not doing any stacking in Sharpcap at this time. I looked for that last night, but was unable to find it anywhere.

Robin, Thank you for your insight on my previous issue. Last night, I finished using my new L-enhance filter to image the Horsehead Nebula and decided to see what a couple images of the moon would look like. After taking a couple images, the previously mentioned “frozen” image appeared again. I did ...

I had my dew shield on last night and after processing 2.5 hours of images from last night, I find these on my images. I know they are not dust as my flats do not have these on them. I have imaged in "dewy" conditions and my shield ahs always worked, but am thinking since my scope was poin...

Robin,

Thank you so much...the shift click worked.

Is there anything that can get rid of the delay in capturing images.....I have the "don't wait" message now that I must click for the sequence to begin.

Thanks again for your help!!
