Hi Robin

Okay, thanks for the advice, I'll use the 64bit version from now on.

Hi Robin A bit more detail. V4.1.10700 32bit doesn't crash in Raw8 mode, but does in Raw16 or RGB24. V4.1.10700 64bit doesn't crash. I've just installed V4.1.10872 32bit and 64bit. The 32bit version doesn't crash when in Raw8 mode, but does in either Raw16 or RGB24 same as 4.1.10700. The 64bit versi...

Hi Robin

Power cycling the Camera doesn't solve the issue. However, I've just run the 64bit version 4.1.107 and it doesn't crash, so maybe it's a memory issue as you suspect.

Started Sharpcap 4.1.107 with the Capture area set to 2300x2000 and all was fine. The exception happened when I tried to set the Capture Area to full scale 6280x4210. If I start 4.0.9562 and change the capture area to full scale then try to start 4.1.107 it crashes immediately. This doesn't happen o...

Hi Robin Just a quick update using V4.1.10700. Yesterday cloud was coming and going all day but "Feature Tracking" kept the Sun centred perfectly, with out any manual intervention. I can't say how V4.0.9556 would have coped, but I'm very happy using this new version. I think the addition o...

Hi Robin. Thanks for your quick reply and the info. I guess my issue could be related to the Windows reinstallation, but I think I've set SharpCap up as it was before the crash. The annoying thing about the crash was that I had a Macrium Reflect image but when I came to use it it was corrupt! :x Tod...

Hi Robin. SharpCap V4.0.9556. I'm back Solar imaging again and using the Feature Tracking Tool in every session. Yesterday cloud was was coming and going most of the afternoon, it seemed to me that the Feature Tracking Tool wasn't recovering from lost/cloud obscured images as well as it did last yea...

Hi Stephen I've had great success using the 'Centre of Mass' mode for Sun stabilisation/drift compensation using the full disc of the Sun then doing ROI in post processing. I use the 'Use Mount' option not the 'Camera ROI'. My equipment is a Coronado PST c/w AltairAstro 178M3 camera on a Skywatcher ...

Hi Robin

Your 'Satellite Trail Removal' tool is something that has passed me by, I'll have to check it out.

Hi Robin Yes, the southwest side of the Island is very dark, roughly from the Needles in the west to Blackgang in the east, I'm in the centre of Freshwater so I don't enjoy such good seeing, mainly due to surrounding 'security' lighting and the all too blue LED streetlights. The Island is going for ...
