Re: Pro Licence

I have loaded both 32- adn 64- bit and the 32-bit works with the Starshoot, so I am assuming that the issue is that my particular camera does not handle 64-bits.

Re: Pro Licence

I do not know the answer if there is another driver for Starshoot. I called tech service the other day about a repair for an old unit and they said that there are many iterations of the camera although all carry the same labelling. The 32-bit worked before, so I am expecting it to work now. If neces...

Pro Licence

I recently took my system apart as I had to send the mount for repairs. I am now trying to reload everything. I downloaded 64 bit and subscribed for pro license. I found that my Starshoot Autoguider does not work, so I have downloaded 32-bit version to try. 1) Can I have BOTH 32-bit and 64-bit insta...

Re: ASI ZWO 290MC Capture will not stop

I think the issue was my HD was full. I have a C and D and the Sharpcap folder was created on C by default. I moved everything to D drive and tonight it seemed ok.

Maybe some kind of error message if disk full?

ASI ZWO 290MC Capture will not stop

Prior to latest Sharpcap update, this worked well, although I had used it mostly in deep sky mode, as so I am not sure about AVI mode. Last night, capturing Jupiter, the "Stop Capture" does not stop. If I sent number of frames to a low number (150) the capture continues, right on past. I c...

Re: COM6 NOT FOUND

The ASCOM Hub does not allow changes to the COM port. The drop down shows the current assignment but will not allow editing. Another user I have talked to gave a lengthy explanation about older versions of SharpCap have this issue - something to do with using or not using the Hub depending on whethe...

Re: focus errors

Ok. I will check with Starlight. What I am trying to do is understand the correlation between the number shown on the screen and the physical position of the focuser. Right now, the camera is in focus, and the screen seems to have arbitrary values, so I don't know where I am. Is there a way to move ...

Re: focus errors

All is going well. I have played around with various combinations and I'm sure it is just my inexperience that as an issue.' I am not looking at automatic focusing using a Starlight EFS system for the first time. Last night all connections worked smoothly and I did a preliminary trial. QUESTION: How...

Re: focus errors

Yes, I did use the GoldFocus mask with SharpCap. As you point out, I should not. I have used the correct mask and SharpCap works normally. I think my other issues were due to not being familiar with the settings, and I was not getting gain/exposure in the right range. It seems to be somewhat sensiti...

Re: COM6 NOT FOUND

Right now, my solution is to shut down and reboot the computer. Apparently this resets the COM ports and lets SharpCap find the current one. I'll keep searching for a better solution.
