I wasn't using this in LK's program and I should have included "etc" in my example. There are longer exposures in the following lines.
I just offered it as a possible solution that worked for me.

Re: Eclipse Sequence Generator
I used TargetName to get around the short time file collisions.
Set the TargetName to T1, Set Exposure to 1ms, Capture 3 frames
Set the TargetName to T2, Set Exposure to 5ms, Capture 3 frames
Set the TargetName to T3, Set Exposure to 10ms, Capture 3 frames

Re: Sequencer: Sync to previously saved -> how to save ?
As a start position, I would find it more useful to tell the mount that it was pointing to an Alt-Az position (eg. the pole), rather than RA and Dec. You'd have to assume/confirm that it's in a counterweight down orientation.

Sync moves mount with one camera but not another
I have an imaging scope with an ASI1600MC (FoV 0.9 x 0.7 degrees) and a guidescope QHY5LII-M (FoV 2.2 x 1.7) on an Az-Gti in equatorial mode connected by serial/usb. SharpCap v4.1.11351.0 (64 bit) on Win10 Pro. If I platesolve and sync with the guidescope, it solves, syncs and moves the mount to the...

Could you update the help file to reflect the new version of Python please ?

Re: New Multi Reticle Feature
I like the new reticle feature, but I'd really like to lock the reticle as you've implemented as "circle" in the main reticle drop down. That option allows me to rotate the crosshair to match RA/Dec for drift alignment or to set the centre and circle diameter to match the main scope FoV or...

Re: Polar alignment with less than 90° rotation
It's already there.
There's a check box on the first or second screen in Polar Align that's called "Advanced" (or something like that) which allows less rotation.

Re: What's new in SharpCap this week... 18th July 2022
Do you really need to point to 0.3 arcsec ?
To put that into context, Saturn's moon Titan is 0.8 arcsec in diameter.

Re: What's new in SharpCap this week... 18th July 2022
In CdC, the "Position" icon to the right of the "Advanced Search" magnifying glass, lets you specify a location by RA/Dec or Alt/Az. Then hit slew.

Re: Polar alignment using OAG instead of Guide Scope
I put a par-focalizing ring on my QHY5L-ii so I can swap it between the OAG and the finder/guidescope. In the OAG it bottoms out before the ring makes contact and in the finder, the ring stops it. The downside is that I have to do a calibration run in PHD2 each time but that's a small price to pay. ...
