Latest autofocus routine is broken?

I don't remember the version number, but I downloaded the latest beta last night at 10 pm CDT. I ran an autofocus routine and clicked "best position", and Sharpcap crashed to desktop. It gave three options to report the crash, and I chose the first "web" option. But that seemingl...

Re: Multi-panel sequence vs. auto-focus/guiding

Thank you.

One more question.

Thanks.

Multi-panel sequence vs. auto-focus/guiding

I am trying to create a multi-panel sequence for a mosaic, so I can repeat this sequence on multiple nights without changing anything. In this particular case, it's a 4-panel sequence for the Veil nebula. The plan is to: move mount to panel coordinates, plate-solve and recenter, auto-focus, enable g...

Please recommend ZWO EAF settings

I have a refractor (Apertura 72 EDR) - 72mm F/4.8. ASI533MC Pro - FOV of 1.88 degrees. I just received the EAF and need some good settings for it. I measured the backlash roughly @ 25+-5steps by monitoring the movement of the fine focus knob, so I set it in ASCOM properties panel. I set the gain to ...

Re: Does the beta work on Windows7?

Does the beta work on Windows7?

I tried installing both latest versions with and without Sharpcap 3.2 uninstalled.
I get an error message:
0x80070490 - Element not found

Does 4.0 simply not work on Windows 7?

Add "Capture Dark..." to the scripting language.

Hello. Could you please add a command to the scripting language so that the menu option Capture Dark... could be initiated? It only requires 3 inputs - number of frames to average, where to save, and finally a press of the start button. I don't even care about where to save or even how many frames, ...

Re: Capture Dark Frame window doesn't show number input field.

I was able to fix the issue. These are the exact steps, from my memory, that fixed the issue. 1) I went to Sharpcap.exe properties, Compatability tab, and Custom DPI settings. 2) I changed the Windows DPI settings to a "custom" 100%, and it asked me to sign out. I did. 3) I signed back in ...
