Re: RAW16 FITs for short exposure flats

I’ve never needed to do exposures that short for 16bit. I do IF the sky is still dark but I generally wait and do them when the sky is bright enough to do sub 1-sec. Robin as you know this stuff way better than most -> what are your thoughts on this? Urban myth or is there actually something to it m...

Re: A brief introduction to the SharpCap Sequencer

Great news that it’s such an easy fix.

I’m lucky to live in Australia and get 200ish clear nights a year so not a big stress. I lose more nights to apathy than clouds.

Re: SharpCap 4.0 Beta Now Available

Toshihito -> You to misunderstand this Beta process. The help files will be completed AFTER the beta is almost complete. To create and constantly have to update them is a massive overhead that we don't want or need as Beta testers. Some kind Beta Testers have already begun basic translation but this...

Re: SharpCap Still Mode

Feature request: Live/Still mode stored per capture profile. Eg: I have a profile I use for polar align/focus/plate solving (max gain/2sec exp) which would benefit from Live View being automatic as part of it. During capture I have no use or need for Live view and still mode would likely save resour...

Re: A brief introduction to the SharpCap Sequencer

Exposure Number Limit -> Max 100 :( Hi Robin, I live in a bortle 7/8 environment and as a result I get the best results at the lower end of the exposure time and then stacking lots of images. In Ver 4.0.7529 there is a limit of 100 exposures in the sequencer wizard which wasn't immediately obvious. ...

Polar Align Details jumbled on Capture Window

Hi Robin, I scanned quickly through the previous posts and saw no other reports of this, but it wasn't an exhaustive search. V4.0.7529 Windows 10 Pro 20H2 over remote desktop to Windows 10 Pro 20H2. Display size 1920x1080 on all remote screens. I have attached a screenshot which should illustrate th...

Re: Dual Monitor setup

Is there any way to control which monitor gets the image only display? On my configuration it will only display the image only on my laptop. I have tried different combinations of launching sharpcap from each screen, but it always defaults to monitor 1 (laptop) even though I have 1 or 2 other monito...

Feature Requests: Dither, Camera profile export/import

Hi Robin, I'm really liking the new features and have been slowly and methodically teaching myself the new sequencing process. Dither I am not seeing any dither functionality in the sequencing so I assume either I am missing something or it hasn't been implemented yet? Profile Migration I use a coup...

Re: Plate Solving Not Syncing Back to ASCOM

Thanks for implementing it in the drop down too, I noticed it last night during my run at M42.

All 3 modes worked as decribed.
