Ok - I'm more understanding why the command protocol is what it is for ASTAP. Firstly - I noticed in the log - that ASTAP is being limited to a 15 degree search. And I recognized at that time - SharpCap couldn't possibly know where the telescope was pointing. So I must have to figure out how to get ...

I am still unable to get SharpCap to collect a picture from the camera in real-time which ASTAP can successfully solve. . I have experimented with capturing images and storing them in the "Folder Camera" folder And with those there - instead of selecting a real camera - I select the "...

It worked!!!
YEA!!!!

I love it!!!

Now I can create more known-good images with specific FOV parameters - and use them to ensure plate-solving will work in the field.

Thank you again Robin!!

Wonderful!
Thank you Robin!

I will try that! :-]

Thank you Robin! I was able to see a plate-solve captured by the log file! Nice!! I performed an experiment. I took a copy of the vert_0001.png file - and loaded it into a TEMP folder on the desktop. Then I went into SharpCap and selected "Folder" as the camera - and then set the path for ...

Robin, Per your recommendation - I uninstalled 3.2 and downloaded SharpCapInstall-4.0.9562.0-64bit It installed without a problem - very nice!!! And I noticed it somehow was able to obtain the Pro license key info I wonder where it got that from??? Anyway - I went into the settings - and plate-solve...

Thank you Robin I'm looking at the log - and I do see references to Astap - but they are only where Sharpcap is attempting to detect the installation of ASTAP. I don't see any plate-solve commands to ASTAP in the log I am familiar with ASTAP command-line structure I have a BAT file located within th...

On a fun note - tonight before I broke down the telescope to put stuff away - I took a screen-shot of my last GOTO in SharpCap Saved saved it as a BMP in windows paint - and saved it on the desktop Then opened up the ASTAP GUI and it solved that picture in about 10 seconds! But it still will not suc...

Hello, I understand from ASTAP documentation - that it can be initiated by the command line - which can include specific parameters. Here is my issue which I cannot currently resolve. I am trying to get integration between SharpCap and ASTAP for a platesolve and mount sync process. I have never used...

Thank you Robin!
