Re: CPWI pass-through no longer works

I can confirm the same error on my setup with 4.0.7839.0-64bit . Reverted back to 4.0.7824 and controls are available.

Re: Question re: LiveStack interface

Please update the release notes for changes when you do the 4k support. I bet there are more using 4k screens and more to be doing so in the future.

Cheers & Beers

Re: SharpCap 3.3 Beta Now Available

HI Robin, Sorry I feel silly, it was a setting that was different. I just assumed that it was pulling the same settings that I use in 3.2. The setting in question was Align Frames was not checked. However I did learn a new way to understand how much movement is in my dithering. Otherwise everything ...

Re: SharpCap 3.3 Beta Now Available

I tried ETA SharpCapInstall-3.3.7016.0-64bit using the folder camera to attempt to restack some images from last night. The stacking routine did not properly stack saved FITS as they did not align properly. I flipped thru the fits and found that its easy to find the change to the stack after a dithe...

Re: Dither not starting on 2nd target

So I ran last night using 6448 using 64 bit for 5 1/2 hours of EAA time. I used PHD2 2.6.9dev1 and it never glitched. I did slews without stopping PHD2 on purpose, did some slews with stopping, simply I just used it like I have in the past. It was rock solid for every stacking session and dithered w...

Re: Dither not starting on 2nd target

HI Robin, That's an interesting thought that its waiting for a command that will never come. I have found that when it does hang up the only option is to completely shut down SharpCap and restart it. Shutting down PHD2 and restarting does not fix or reset the issue. Stopping guiding and restarting a...

Re: Dither not starting on 2nd target

I was out Halloween night the 31st and moved to a lot of targets in SharpCap and had PHD2 guiding and there were no issues. I am running version 3.2.6442 Sharpcap and CPWI Beta pubic release and the most current version of PHD2. Maybe something in 6442 has changed and the bug is fixed. I will if it ...

Re: Dither not starting on 2nd target

I get the same error and I have to restart SharpCap to reset the dither settling. I can not say that it happens after a slew to a different target or not. But I will pay attention to what I did preceding the next time I get it to happen. I will save a log and upload it next time I am out and the err...

Re: Vignetting is horrible

Are you using a 1 1/4 T adapter visual back for the camera? If yes you will not be able to solve the issue you need to get to a 2" diameter or you wont be able to fix this issue. I also have an 8 in SCT and I learned this very early on. Also with the ZWO 294 camera it has been stated that when ...
