SharpCap Forums

I am not sure I am following? PHD is running constantly during all of this and the failure to stack the first frame is a new occurrence since v4.1x. I guess I can turn of the 'Only stack while guiding is active', but the behavior is new and different. "guiding wasn't active during that first fe...

Robin- Another thing that I verified last night... After a focus run, I used to be able to start capture of a frame by setting exposure time (240 seconds in this case), clicking off that box, (onto Gain box for example), and then opening Live Stack and un-Pausing. The first frame would save to folde...

Re: "2) Focus scan result not giving a curve - SharpCap has some fairly stringent checks for the curve to make sure that the curve is significant and not just a random variation in focus data. It's probably stricter than you would be to avoid confidently picking a best focus point that is compl...

Robin- Here is an image of the odd text while the first image for focus is being captured. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wXr0lAS0WLWMgxj02VUANz19YOTHxkh0/view?usp=sharing Also, in case it is helpful, I was looking at the Log tab in Live Stack, (I think I have been calling this "Live View&quo...

After another night of use I wanted to add an additional observation... The new focus routine seems to be more complicated and unnecessarily so. I can see how it is trying to improve the focus result, however I was not having any issues with the previous routine's accuracy/precision. At one point la...

I upgraded to 4.1 and, aside from needing to get generally reoriented on some new functionality, (plate solve was way too fast ;-P), I observed some odd things: -When multi-star auto-focusing, during the first step, first frame, image preview frame has large text saying something about capture, like...

OK, so maybe reiterating your post, but this is the process to locate the shortcut icon where one would like in the task bar: -SC closed, unpin any instance of a shortcut icon in the taskbar. -Open Sharpcap -Right-click icon that will appear in taskbar and click "Pin to taskbar" -Drag that...

OK, at least I know I am not being an idiot.

Let me go try to move the icon around and see what happens.

Thanks!

I just uploaded the latest version. Previously, I could place a shortcut in the taskbar in Windows 10 next to PHD2 and then conveniently click back and forth between the two. Now, when I open Sharpcap, another icon is created at the end of all of my taskbar icons in an inconvenient place, and I keep...

Got it. Not being an app developer, it sounds like there are UI platforms that one can build in but they come with certain limitations. I do some web site design, and it sounds somewhat analogous to WordPress or a WordPress theme. Thank you for the response! I can certainly make due with it as it is.
