Sure here is the crash report and a link to a short video showing how I can reproduce the error.

This is with the ASCOM Telescope simulator but it happens exactly the same way using a real mount.

Hi Robin. Not sure if this is a bug or just due to incorrect use of the Software. If I am capturing images and hit the plate solve icon the plate solve operates correctly and the mount syncs correctly. This action causes the image capturing to stop. When I try to start capturing again the software c...

On a positive note - after setting Turbo USB to 50 I have not had a single glitch in over 40,000 frames taken since my last post. (All day and all night time lapse at 1 frame per 2 seconds.

Thanks Robin. I suspected it might be something with the updated ZWO software as I have hundreds of thousands of frames without a glitch on previous versions with the Auto setting for Turbo USB - using several different cameras. I have posted a similar thread on the ZWO forums so we will see if they...

A follow up after a bit of experimenting. I was able to replicate the problem by turning up the Turbo USB to 100% and 4 frames per second capture. Here is a video demonstrating it in real-time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbsz8TrSrB0 I have also included a corrupt frame that occurred in yesterda...

Hi Robin. I have been using Sharpcap for several years with no real issues. My main use is for Solar and Lunar time-lapse captures over several hours. After the latest update I notice the target will jump position in the frame occasionally while the guide scope using "LuSol Guide" remains ...

Thanks Robin,

Loving SharpCap as I learn more about its features.

Your instructions for it were clear and easy to follow.

It works a treat.

Hi Robin, Friendly request reminder. This would be awesome as I just picked up a ZWO 183 MC for some really high resolution images on the Sun with a Coronado solar scope and the timestamp is so tiny on the images I cannot see the details. Quite happy to make a 100 USD donation for your efforts on th...

Just posting this as feedback for Robin, I tried the Feature tracking tonight on a Celestron AVX mount fitted with a Skywatcher ED80 and a ZWO 120 MC on a 120 mm focal length guide scope. I was tracking the Moon for several hours and it held perfectly. My mount was poorly aligned intentionally for t...

Hi Robin,

Thanks, that would be fabulous. It would add greatly to these videos.
