I have been imaging Saturn and Jupiter with a ZWO ASSI178MC OSC camera and I can't see to get a reasonable FPS number. I am only getting 5 or 6 FPS at best using a 640X480 ROI. When I try the same camera with Firecap using the same camera and ROI, I am getting 20 FPS or better. I have the high speed...

Hi, difficult to be sure from your screenshots, but it looks awfully like you have an image of the sun visible on the camera when taking the 'flat' - that is incorrect. A flat frame should be pretty much uniform grey except for possibly dark splodges from dust on the sensor or darker corners due to...

Robin, I assume when you say check the value I am assuming the Turbo USB setting? I have the camera connected right now during the day and I have it set at 40 and I am getting 101 FPS at 640x480 while using RAW8. Is this is what you wanted me to check? Shouldn't the highest FPS be the best target? I...

I have noticed recently that I am not get the quality image of Jupiter and Saturn that I used to get. I went back and compared my SER files and I noticed that the better quality image is (GBRG) and has a very low frame rate of 3 FPS. The poorer quality image is (BGR) and I am getting 130 FPS. This d...

I just purchased a ZWO EAF Focuser to replace my Celestron Focuser. I was wondering if there is a automatic focuser routine in Sharpcap Pro and can I tell Sharpcap Pro to perform a automatic focus between subs?

Thanks Robin. I generally don't mess with those controls but I will give it a try.

I noticed that when I am imaging especially Saturn during the video capture, I get a orange yellowish color. Is there any way in Sharpcap to change the colors while I am doing the video recording before I run the post processing with AS!3 and Registax? I don't seem to have this problem when imaging ...

Maybe I have the exposure set too high for that flat which will be different from the exposure of the Sun? Should I still use the Flats tool in Sharpcap but tell it not to apply it after creating it?

I am assuming the flats will be a FITS file that I would apply in AS!2?

Thanks for the responses and that makes sense.

I am trying to create and apply flats to my solar image. When I create the flats, there is an option which is automatically checked to apply the new flat to my image. I am attaching a snapshot of what I am getting when I apply the flat. What I am doing wrong? Is there a procedure documented somewher...
