Hi Robin,

Based on that experience, do you see an "eclipse mode future" for Sharpcap?

It reads like only a couple users tried and it involved quite a bit of "under the hood" work.

Hi Robin, Are there eclipse capabilities in the Sharcap future? There is a handful of not up-to-date software for dslr cameras but nothing to use astro cooled CMOS cameras. I am not sure if they would be capable of multiple frames per seconds. You probably have an answer to that 😉 Cheers Stephan

Thank you Robin! Exactly what I was looking for. I wasn't aware of those new features.

With the upcoming solar eclipse (Oct 14th) I want to take automated images (tiff files) of the eclipse at a set interval. The goal is to make an animation. I don't have a need for video files as I will be using a simple Sun filter. How do I set that up? 🤔 The capture menu doesn't seem to allow for t...

I just received a Uranus C pro camera. SC cannot see it. I installed the camera driver and ascom driver. Device manager doesn't identify any problem. SC update tells me there are no available newer update. The camera connects in NINA and works fine there. The only issue is SC. I unplugged, replugged...
