Hi Robin, Two (hopefully) last questions about SharpCap in connection with Moravian C1x cameras. As you know, I had problems with creating flats so far. The flat correction always led to an overcorrection. I have now figured out what the problem is, or at least how to prevent it. I have to create th...

Hi Robin, Another thing I noticed while beta testing SharpCap with my Moravian C1x. Often when I set the capture area to predefined 957x638, there is some sort of offset on the right edge of the image. The stars coming from the right disappear after a few pixels, and the stars in the main frame appe...

Temp Control works now fine. Thank you very much!

Hi Robin,

Another question, are you able to do flat correction with your Moravian camera?
I just can't do it. It always ends up in an overcorrection.


With my QHY-cameras it works fine in SharpCap. Is there anything special to consider here?

Best regards; Roger

Hi Robin, Thanks for your prompt feedback! GPS: ok understood. Gain: dB!! Ok, note to myself: first switch brain on, than ask questions ;-). Thank you! A table with some conversion values can be found here: https://www.gxccd.com/art?id=653&lang=409 Sensor temperature readout: ok, thank you. Will...

and because it is so nice to work with the new SharpCap version, here are a few questions in connection with the Moravian cameras. Gain: Moravian gives the gain in values from 10 to 4030: https://www.gxccd.com/art?id=653&lang=409 In SharpCap I can choose from 0 - 36. Is there a conversion key fo...

Hi Robin, Thank you very much for the adjustment. I was able to test the new version in the meantime. The GPS data is now stored in the .fits header. The coordinates can be seen under GPS_LAT / GPS_LONG / GPS_ALT. The times are stored as follows: DATE-OBS= '2023-08-10T00:29:04.5101514' / GPS:Start E...

Hi Robin, I finally found some time to test the beta version (4.1.10872.0). I'ts still not possible to start the Moravian gps camera. But this time I got a different error message: SCError.png I made two tests, one with cxUsb.dll 4.14.0.0 (found in sharpcap) and one with cxUsb.dll 4.15.0.0 (from the...

Great, thx!

Hi Robin,
Thank you very much! Unfortunately I can't test it because I can't start the camera with version 4.1. There's still the following error message:


With version 4.0 the camera runs fine.
