Hi Robin, To try and wait for the frame cache to clear, I calculate and add a delay between steps equivalent to 5 frames at the current exposure. I also added a new feature.. Partial Eclipse Count. The duration of the partial phase of the eclipse is different (for most people) comparing pre and post...

Are you only worried about file name collisions during totality because of the rapid acquisition ? Hi Steve, Yes, that's exactly my concern. If the 'Capture Plan' for totality doesn't take at least 1 second, there will be a naming collision. Hi Robin, Thanks so much for the `PAD` instruction! So fa...

You mention using {Exposure} in the filename to give file a unique identifier. You are doing this automatically in the script generator, correct? Hi Steve, I don't see a way of changing the filename format from the Sequencer. If you can point out how, I'd be happy to integrate it. Otherwise, it'll ...

Sounds great to me!

Thanks for all your work on SharpCap, Robin!

Hi Robin,
Would it be possible to add a new 'loop' variant...
This would make precise timing collections much more predictable for the eclipse.

Thanks!

Hi Robin, Thanks so much for your feedback. In my testing today, I did run into the Periodic event not firing and figured I was missing something. I had hoped the periodic would run in the background on a predictable timing ( trying to keep from using a delay and getting unpredictable results ). I c...

Hi all, I wanted to share a project I've been work'n on for a couple of day or two. After coming across SETnC software ( Eclipse photography software, but only works with Canon DSLRs ), I wished for a similar way of sequencing Eclipse images on actual astronomy cameras. So, I created... SharpCap Ecl...
