SharpCap Forums

Will see if i can find out how to do that and next clear night will try. Thanks

Hi ... i've been having no problems with plate solving until I changed mounts. I've switched over to an AVX mount, connect through cpwi, do my PA and then get cpwi to go to a star. Once there it's not in view so I plate solve in Sharpcap and it finds it ok and slews to the right location and centres...

will have a look when we can. Looks like we have rain forecast for the next week or so Looks like you are getting all our sun in the UK. Another 3 months before we are back in the 40's

Thanks Robin ... will just have to adjust things as needed. Could you tell me why it doesn't work when I set my telescope focal length. I would have thought that would helped more.

Yearly price is very good and well worth it considering all you put into it.

Hi Robin, Managed to get out for an hour last night to try a few things which you suggested. This is what i found I've had the Focal length of telescope set to 600mm (ed80) and this didn't work so changed it to Do Not Use Lowered the sigma setting down to 20 but had to have my camera set to 5sec wit...

Thank you for the information Robin and will check it all out once this weather system has gone through next week. Much appreciated.

Morning Robin,
It is Astrotortilla that I'm using and haven't had this trouble before with the ed80 so I'm assuming I have the right data fields downloaded for it. Any ideas.

Thanks for getting back to me Robin. Bed time here so will check in the morning to see which it is. I thought with having such good polar alignment it would manage quite well. Will post tomorrow. Thanks

Not sure if i'm in the right place to ask this but here goes. I have an HEQ5 Pro mount and z61ii and ed80. With the z61ii I do my polar alignment and can get it to .02 and .04. When I slew to a target in Stellarium and plate solve it is normally within 2(can't remember the rest. Age thing). Tonight ...

Thank you Robin .... have the latest version so that's ok. I'll try to extend the settle time and see how we go. A lot to take in for a 70 year old just starting...lol. Must work out how to use PHD2 as that must help a lot but that's more to get my head around
