Can't get solar tracking

I have the latest SharpCap (v4.1.12174). I have a Rainbow Astro RST-135 mount. I am using the ASCOM driver that SharpCap can access. The only tracking option that shows up in the SharpCap Controls is siderial. Here are screen prints.

Re: New Feature : Planetary Live Stacking

Fantastic. Is it possible to change the color a little to a more yellow hue.

Re: New Feature : Planetary Live Stacking

Thanks Robin,

A few years ago I asked if you could repeat the feature built into the old SBIG STV called "Best Sharp". This feature would compare successive images and only display the sharpest one of the images taken. With your new feature you topped the STV feature. Thanks again.

AVI Files Longer Than Setting

I did some .AVI videos of the Sun Friday setting it to take 1 minute worth of frames. The count at the bottom did indicate that is what it did. The settings .TXT file also indicates a 1m video. But when I load and run the .AVI files in any video player, they indicate that the video is actually 2:40m...

Re: Not recognizing my mount for Tracking Feature

I am unable to calibrate. I am using an Alt-Az mount. Is there any issue with using the feature with that kind of mount? Here are a couple of screen prints of the calibration process.
