Re: A framerate setting question

Hi Robin, Thanks for responding so quickly. Yes, I can do the neutral density filter, and that is certainly "plan-B" (or maybe "plan-A" now!). However, I have experimented and found that if I slowly decrease the Turbo USB slider, I can slowly reduce the framerate. For example, if...

Re: A framerate setting question

Hello, I think I have a similar question about Sharpcap using a spectrohelioscope. A spreadsheet I use indicates a framerate of 349 frames per second is exactly correct for my 16X mount slew rate (to produce a round raw image). My computer can handle that framerate. This framerate corresponds to an ...

SharpCap went from recording zero and dropping 100% of frames to recording >300 fps and dropping zero! I never would have guessed that, because Turbo 85 works perfectly for me at...

Once again, all standard ROI sizes work fine in 16-bit SER mode....just as with the older 3.2 version. BUT, when I select a custom ROI (and follow the ROI box-size rule...

Sharpcap not recording custom ROI on ASI174mm camera

Hello, I have an ASI174mm camera I use for solar imaging in 16-bit SER mode. Everything works fine with SharpCap version 3.2.6482.0......except when I create a custom ROI box. For example, every standard ROI listed in the dropdown menu works fine. But, when I create a custom ROI (1936x150 pixels for...
