I am struggling with the same issue, that is precisely the symptom of "bad" USB connection... Isn't SharpCap able to detect the histogram is blank, or that the frame counter is a negative floating point number instead of a positive integer and warn the user that this means the camera is no...

Could I add a request for audio feedback on focus quality? ...and Bahtinov mask focusing method?

I was going to suggest this also for focusing!.. I will try the Beta!

Really reached 0.01 ms or are these theoretical values only? If really measured what were the settings and machine, no dropped frames (PyMovie/PyOTE) ? I should clarify... I made no "measurement". Laptop is not the best (intel i3, harddrive is an SSD almost full, got a lot of dropped fram...

I've also asked QHY if there is a way SharpCap can work out if the camera is on USB2 or 3 - if I had that info I could make adjustments to the calibration calcs to suit either connection mode. I think I bumped into a way!... because I have a faulty USB cable !! Try checking the shortest possible ex...

Robin, :!: Sorry, but I must warn against my numbers :!: :!: :arrow: I found out that my USB 3 cable, and how well it is fixed on the camera, may have influence in them. the following situations refer to (MONO16, 1920x1200, bin 1x1, same USB3 port on the computer, exposures shorter than 20 ms) A: ca...

Errr.... Just when I thought I was understanding.... Now I am not being able to replicate my numbers!! :o :( MONO16, 1920x1200, 50ms, USB traffic 0, the number of 46280 no longer makes the transition from On to Off.... Now that number is between 4180 and 4210 !!! Start_Pos is around 10920~10960 End_...

Hi Jean-François, I connected on the "blue" USB 3 port. The issue with the cooling was my fault. I covered the camera, air did not circulate properly, so effectively the camera was not being able to cool down. Naturally, as the set temperature was not being reached, SC/Camera pushed the co...

Sorry! details are: 32bit version of SharpCap version 3.2.6442.0 capture: 16MONO mode, bin 1x1, 1920x1200, USB TRaffic = 0 embarrassing info: cooler at 100%, long going below +6ºC, camera housing at about 30~35ºC <-- the ring holding the camera was covering the air intake -- Oooops, big mistake! Doe...

Hello, I am new to all this, but I have been testing recently-bought QHY174 GPS and my understanding of it is still less than 48h :-) however, I think I am getting it... "GPS_ALT" is provided, so the new firmware is in there, I presume (yey!). SharpCap is v3.2.6442 (Pro) This particular ca...
