Re: ZWO Camera Drop while using Sharpcap

It looks like mine is set at 80 with Auto enabled. So would you suggest like going down to 40 and test that first or just disable Auto all together for Turbo USB? I had another question not related to this issue. When I start up Sharpcap I get this message: It looks like you are taking long exposure...

Re: Not able to stack frames into PixInsight BPP Script from Sharpcap

Robin, Thanks for confirming for what I thought was the problem all along. It agree with you since the flat is monochrome, why do any of these products like DSS, APP or PI have a problem with this flat? So in the future if I decide to use the 'RAW' option to save individual frames, I will use RAW 16...

Re: Not able to stack frames into PixInsight BPP Script from Sharpcap

Robin,

Below is link to my One Drive with files. I included the camera settings, master flat and dark and 5 of the light frames. Sharpcap does not have a problem stacking with my flat but other products don't like it like PI or APP.

Re: Fits format does not work in PIxInsight Batch Pre-Processing

My Camera is a ZWO OSC. And Yes I did mean 'RAW' in Sharpcap which allows me to create individual frames which can be stacked later in DSS, Sharpcap using the camera folder or Pixinsight. So far I have only been able to stack my frames within Sharpcap using the Camera Folder option and check the pos...
