Re: Planetary Video Apparently Not Saved!

Okay, well I'm obviously very glad to hear that! Looking back at my old planetary files from last year, though, that certainly wasn't the case -- they were definitely avi files. I guess that's just something that changed since then with one of the updates? I guess it doesn't really matter, though, a...

Planetary Video Apparently Not Saved!

Although over the recent months I have been trying (unsuccessfully so far, but that's the subject for another forum topic) to capture DSO's with Sharpcap and its live stacking feature, the other night I decided to try to go back to planetary just for one night, as Jupiter and Saturn were in about a ...

Re: Error Message When Starting Live Stacking

I'd like to revive this thread, as it's something I'm still apparently struggling with. This time, I did go to the Alignment tab and tried to increase the number of stars used, but the highest it would let me go was 25. This time, I also noticed a message stating "frames not stacked because - L...

Re: Screen Suddenly Goes White

Okay, I'm ready to report back now, and it seems to have passed all of your tests. That is, with the cap on 10-second exposures for exactly 15 minutes, I got an ALMOST completely black image, as in a few random dots/specks of light interspersed throughout the screen. The frame count at the bottom-le...

Re: Screen Suddenly Goes White

Okay, I'll do the full test tomorrow night, but even before I do, a quick update. Regarding the other laptop and the drivers, no, I had not. I don't remember doing so with the original laptop but I guess I must have. Now that I did, though, yes, it is picking up the camera. Sure enough, I wasn't hav...

Re: Screen Suddenly Goes White

Okay, I got out again the other night, and it seems to be getting worse if anything. First of all, on the second laptop I brought with me as promised, Sharpcap didn't even pick up the camera at all -- I kept on clicking Rescan, but it never showed up in the drop-down menu. But that could simply be a...

Re: Screen Suddenly Goes White

Okay, very good, will do. You know one other thing I've decided I'll do as well? Download Sharpcap onto my other laptop and try the same process with it as well. It's not a great laptop at all (horrible battery life), but should certainly last long enough to be able to test it. If I don't experience...

Re: Screen Suddenly Goes White

Yes, I figured that the doughnut shape of the star was likely an issue of very poor focus. The problem, though, and where this relates to the primary issue here, is that it was impossible for me to test that out. When I started turning my scope's focus knob, nothing seemed to happen -- the image on ...

Re: Screen Suddenly Goes White

Okay, am going to revive this thread now that I finally got out there again and can provide more detail. In fact, not only do I have a static image (which I can also post if necessary), but an actual video of it happening. Since I know I can't directly attach videos here, I'm providing this Dropbox ...

Re: Screen Suddenly Goes White

Okay, I see. Unfortunately, of course, it's really the white screen I'm most worried about -- not the actual message. But I thought there might be some link between the two. Certainly, if/when it happens again, I'll be sure to take and then post a screenshot. Thanks again.
