Re: CPWI pass-through no longer works

I used to have success with v3.2 (64 bit) but now it doesn't work with that one either. Mind you SC sees it and loads the appropriate tab in the Camera Control Panel for both versions. It just won't slew the mount when I click on the button (with the slew rate set at 32x). A new wrinkle is that last...

Re: Dithering

I have related question. If I have dithering set in both PHD2 and SharpCap, will this be a conflict? If so, should dithering be turned off in PHD2?

Re: CPWI pass-through no longer works

Good suggestion but I already checked that. I ran it up to 32x and still nothing.

thanks,

Camera analysis data

According to the user manual: "SharpCap ships with a selection of camera analysis data for the most popular Astronomy cameras, but you may need to run Sensor Analysis on each of your cameras to make the Smart Histogram features available." I use ZWO cameras (ASI294MC Pro and ASI178MC). How...

Re: CPWI pass-through no longer works

I had mount control of my Celestron CGX working but after the latest update the slew buttons no longer work. I load the Mount Control tab in SharpCap but pressing the buttons no longer does anything. I went on line this morning and found v4.0.8509 and installed that it didn't change anything. Have I...

Re: Live Stacking not seeing stars

I did read that section of the manual and tried to incorporate it. Part of my trouble may have been my target selection. I was using a Canon 200mm f2.8 lens rather than a scope and I was shooting the entire Veil in one frame. This is an area where the density of the stars is pretty extreme. I got it...

Re: Live Stacking not seeing stars

OK, I have stacking. I did it by ignoring what the Brain of the smart histogram was suggesting and by going strictly by the colored lines at the top of the Histo panel. I'm live stacking with flats but no darks, 25 sec exposure and a gain of 200. I'm getting a message that "Cannot calculate AWB...

Live Stacking not seeing stars

I've tried to research this but too confusing. I had everything ready to go but couldn't get Live Stacking to work. Basically, it was saying that it couldn't align because it couldn't find any stars. Yeah, I had lots of stars. I've been over and over all the settings and can't see why. I did see som...
