SharpCap Forums

Thanks Dave. I have looked far into the Gallery and seen your included pictures more than twice before today. Yes, they do show a lot of progress. You have helped me before. Most recently about May 8th this year: https://forums.sharpcap.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1628 Some things I learned at th...

"Your writing seems to suggest that I check the bit depth in the "STATUS" tab in the LIVE STACKING section. What bit depth would you recommend for a ZWO ASI 178 MC camera?" (add: capturing nebulosity or arms of galaxies).. Any illumination on this question would be greatly apprec...

John, I apprieciate your giving the SharpCap Manual a fresh reading and pointing out where some mistakes are made by new users of it. And I will continue to follow you as you go into the ToDo list. Also for the forseeable future I will read up on the this forum you've introduced me to (as well as ke...

Nick You have done a great job with the 2 pictures showing exactly what I reported. Your first picture shows the expected stars with no nebulosity and that is how my stacked Fits Lib. picture turns out. The second (very rich in details) shows what I would expect a stack of ten or so frames should ha...

That is a very very nice picture. I'm working with the simplest, inexpensive equipment that a "newbie" could buy. I think,, it's just what a 15 year old should be encouraged to buy. I just recently posted the fact that I'm suddenly mysteriously not able to see a trace of an image after sta...

Brian,, on my last time out I did find and move that center line to the left. I took two stacked sequences from two different positions when moving left. There is still no image at all (except for a good star field) to be seen in the stacked Fits Lib. picture. But a better single picture image does ...

Ok Brian, so I understand the material pertaining to collumation is near by, just scroll a bit more down. Over time you will see I'm really re-studying carefully that manual and I pray you will help me solve the horrible problem that is still the missing stacked pictures of M27. I'm now going to rep...

I'm reading for the umpteenth time the SharpCap Manual as I have made a couple of mistakes that I should have not made which proves my need for the review. It's a wonder how many things I could not work into my memory are now getting tucked away there. This is making me feel a little better realizin...

Thanks Robin, I'm going to find that save icon you mentioned right now, because I think that will be needed. I'm also going to re-read the instruction manual front to back. I'm presuming the one I can get off of this HELP SITE is very up to date and might cover some things last years version, which ...

Thank you Robin for your suggestion. I will take it into the Field on the next clear night and let you know what happens. Please keep an eye open for my reply as it might be MANY nights away. I have noticed in the past when stacking on M51 (like ten attempts) I was missing so much of it that I was n...
