Re: setting exposure rate in sequencer

Thanks for that Robin

Sorry, can you elaborate on how to use capture profiles? I would like to put RGB runs into Sharpcap with tailored exp and gain settings for different filters. Would appreciate if you or someone else could give examples of how to do this?

Thanks once again
Harvey

setting exposure rate in sequencer

Hi

Can someone please advise on how to set short exposure times using the sequencer? i.e how do I set for 6.1ms etc.

Many thanks

Re: Filter wheel crashing

Hi Robin What happens, is the program will just stop responding, so I have to force a shutdown using task manager. I have downloaded 4.1. However, when I try to turn off the Graphics card acceleration, I can't click apply or ok because the box is shaded out, - so I am unable to change this. My Ascom...

Re: Filter wheel crashing

Hi Robin I have now bought a new laptop and can't believe I am getting the same problem! The power usage is still coming up very high in the processes bar. I am really surprised, and as you can imagine 'frustrated' I have connected the camera, focusser and filterwheel to a powered hub but the proble...

Re: Filter wheel crashing

Hi Robin I'm glad to say that I've now got to the bottom of it, so thanks for all of your help. The issue is with the laptop I was using. A friend bought one over last night and it all runs on that. I noticed with mine when looking in task master that the power was coming up as 'very high' It did st...

Re: Filter wheel crashing

Hi Robin I can confirm that the focuser is showing up in the hardware settings on Sharpcap. it is also showing in Ascom too. I don't believe I can change the settings on the Ascom driver as they take the settings from the focusmaster automatically and I can't edit them other than by using the fm sof...

Re: Filter wheel crashing

update OK, I have now connected all devices to a powered hub. The filter wheel is working fine now but the problem now is that S/cap isn't seeing my focusser at all. I'm pretty certain that it isn't anything to do with my focusser (Hitec Astro Focusmaster Deluxe) as it works fine through both the o...

Re: Can't update Sharpcap Pro

It's all sorted now, the new version had put a new Application shortcut on the desktop in a place where I couldn't see it. So I've deleted the old version now so alls good!

Thanks

Re: Can't update Sharpcap Pro

OK so I have an update Thanks to Menno, I have managed to install the software on 1 laptop. However, I can't seem to download the software on the other one through the application. I have managed to get it to work by downloading the latest version from the Sharpcap website. I have been able to launc...

Re: Can't update Sharpcap Pro

Hi Menno

I have tried it now on 2 laptops and am getting the same error message. If I download it from there will it effect my Pro licence? I should mention that this happens with a downloaded version of Sharpcap Pro.

Thanks
Harvey
