SharpCap Forums

I have a different but real application. It's a bit too niche to make you drop everything but I may as well describe it. I have a CEM25EC mount and want to do some astrophotography on film. The EC mounts don't require guiding over typical sub-exposure times of a few minutes but any mount is going to...

Are you aware of the Windows Magnifier ? Press '+' while holding the Windows key.
I have a 6" laptop and use it a lot.

Yes, SharpCap works fine, regardless of the orientation of the camera. But if you line up the camera with the Alt and Az axis, what you see on the screen matches what knob you turn on the base.

The Debug button reports an unhandled .NET exception [9592] and that there's no just in time debugger ...

Not having much luck with this one. Using the 32 bit version - On my Win10 machine it installed but when I try to run it, I just see the splash screen which goes away at about the normal time and that's it. On my Win7 x64 machine, it wouldn't install. Log attached. SharpCap_3.3_20201127083548.log My...

I had a similar issue with a QHY5 and found that the Gamma setting had changed. Not sure how as I never touch it, but it would pay to check.
