Re: Sequenced LRGB/refocus/mono-cam live stacking
If you are proficient with scripting, you should be able to accomplish this now, using two instances of SharpCap and scripted registration & processing software like Sirl. Use the sequence planner in SharpCap to automate the capture of the lights, switching of the filters, refocus, etc. Have a s...

Re: Mini-Histogram Stretch Button
I would like to 2nd the idea of 0.1 dB nudge buttons above and below the sliders. I rarely enjoy trying to find my keyboard keys in the dark. And imagine how difficult these small adjustments would be running SharpCap on a Surface tablet, as I know some people do.

Re: Allow different +RA and -RA rates in Feature Tracking
Robin, Yes, I would like to have the dead zone as small as possible. The other night I believe I ultimately settled on 25 pixels, but I'd prefer it to be less than 10. But then the noise in the samples becomes significant; when a sample breaks out of the dead zone, SharpCap wakes up and issues a lar...

Re: Allow different +RA and -RA rates in Feature Tracking
Robin, Got my GP back from being relubed and was able to test Feature Tracking calibration last night using the prerelease option. Calibration went without a hitch. It did take quite a while watching the scatter plot to then translate that calibration into settings that did not leave the Moon jumpin...

Re: 183MC-Pro weirdness with SC 4.1.12025.0 (64-bit)
Robin, FYI a few nights ago the frame rate on my ASI183MC also dropped to zero for no apparent reason. I've rarely had any problems with the camera. The camera was connected, there were no errors, the frame rate just fell to 1 and then ultimately 0 and stayed there. I closed and reopened SharpCap an...

Re: Allow different +RA and -RA rates in Feature Tracking
Good to hear. My GP is in the process of being torn down by a friend m to be de- and re-greased with a lubricating oil instead of a sticky grease. I am hopeful that will make the mount easier to calibrate and guide. It isn’t only SharpCap that had trouble; PHD2 could (sometimes) calibrate, but the g...

Thank you, Robin. Still no chance to try to generate a log yet.

Re: Allow different +RA and -RA rates in Feature Tracking
The mount had just been mechanically adjusted the day before to remove all but the smallest amount of backlash (a little is needed to avoid binding). I don't believe the EQMOD software has any backlash compensation, at least none that I can see on the setup while not connected to the mount at the mo...

Re: Allow different +RA and -RA rates in Feature Tracking
Robin, Yes, it was measuring them just fine. The rates are just very different, by almost an order of magnitude, like 60 vs 8. Can’t say i understand it, as it does not match my experience of manually slewing with the hand controller or the screen controls. I was easily able to manually bump the poi...
