Yes, I use DSS now, but all process of stacking with DSS and solving with Astrometry.net requires almost so much time as shooting. That's why I hope to get stacked calibrated solved images just after exposure...

I tried to stack images and got nice round stars with nicer tracks of hot pixels (I do not use guiding, and old good HEQ-5 has valuable periodic errors, plus error of polar alignment). Do I understand right, that without Pro version darks calibration during Live Stacking is impossible? Or maybe ther...

OK thank you! "It is not bug but feature"

Thank you, Jean-Francois! I'm glad to hear your explanation about RAM. I use now notebook with Win 10-64 and 8 GB RAM, so I hope to record large SER files without size limitations, if nessesary. My main limitation is modest aperture: 6-inch Mak does not give posibility to use speed faster than 10-20...

I hope to use SharpCap for asteroidal occultation recording with precision timing. Usually size of event's SER file is about 1 GB, but in some special cases it may become bigger. That's why I have been warried by info on memory limit 2 GB in free version. Does it mean limit on total video file size?

Ohh, sorry Indeed, it works fine!

Yes, yes, on clear or close it saves single file, but automatically (after reaching of stack duration) - both 16 and 32.

Is there a possibility to use simple straight cross, but not 45- degrees reticle or circles?

I tested v4.1.12639 well as v3.2 with the same result.
Manual stop means pressing Clear button or closing of Live Stack window.

Sharp Cap saves 16+32 just automatically (Advanced -> Save and reset every...), but after manual interruption of stacking it saves just 16 bits FITS.
