question about focusing scores

When using the focusing tools like FWHM or Multi-Star FWHM, do the scores signify current resolution in say, arcseconds? Or are they just a calculated score and lower is better? I did read the manual but didn't see anything about what the scores mean other than lower is better. I ask because I am us...

Thank you Robin for the quick turn around. I apologize that I was snippy and rude. I was frustrated when I posted.

Installed SharpCapInstall-4.1.11939.0-64bit and its no better. Focus buttons are still greyed out. The multi-star ...

Re: Sharpcap 4.1 crashes opening any ZWO camera

LoL Yay me! I saw the missing DDL on the thread from the user with a QHY camera but wasn't sure if it applied to my case. I will grab it and check this week-end.

Thanks Robin.

Re: Sharpcap 4.1 crashes opening any ZWO camera

Ok, I will send the link to the log file via the contact form. The application crashes out before the bug report fully populates (and it goes with it). All I did was launch SharpCap and then try to open a camera (ASI 183MC or ASI 120MM). Then it crashes. FWIW, I can open the cameras in ZWO's softwar...

Sharpcap 4.1 crashes opening any ZWO camera

Robin. downloaded Sharpcap 4.1.11711.0 on Windows 11. If I open any ZWO camera, I get a .dll error and it exits. I saw the other thread on QHY camera's but that didn't apply. I can open the camera's using ZWO's own software and with ASCOM. I have updated the ZWO camera drivers and ASCOM drivers and ...

Way to stop live stacking after X failed frames in sequencer?

Is there a way in the sequencer to stop the Live stack function if it can't align after some number of frames? I have a script that runs through a bunch of targets and when done, parks the scope at its home position. Last night, it was running through the targets and got to one that it couldn't alig...
