Hi Mitch, glad to hear it's working for you. Saw your post over on the Altair google group about the ZWO too - the horizontal bands there look like an artifact of the hot pixel removal when using dark subtraction in SharpCap - that tends to happen if the dark being used doesn't match the camera sett...

Hi, the error message you are seeing ('cannot allocate memory because no size has been set') is coming from DirectShow, which is the Microsoft technology that supports the camera drivers. If you search for the message on google you will find hundreds of people complaining about getting it in all sor...

Excellent - glad to hear it worked

Hi Neil, at the moment the capture settings file gets written when the capture starts, so adding the frame count isn't a quick change. Having said that, there is already work being done at capture completion when WinJUPOS naming is being used, so it should be possible. One for the todo list. cheers,...

Hi, In your log I can see this message repeated in two places Stopping preview to change Debayer Preview This indicates that something (possible a capture profile you are loading) is setting the value of the 'Debayer Preview' control from it's normal value of 'On' to one of the other options - proba...

Ah, interesting... looking over the log from your bug report I can see this entry near the top FlyCapture2Managed.FC2Exception: Unsupported Hardware Interface. That's telling me that SharpCap isn't able to talk to your PointGrey camera directly, so you are ending up using the camera via the DirectSh...

Hi Charles, thanks for the detailed description of the problem - I think it has lead me straight to the code which is causing the issue, which is great! SharpCap 3 waits for the focuser to report that it is not moving before sending it a move command - that was added because I was seeing errors caus...

I've just uploaded what I hope will be the last beta build for SharpCap 3.0 :) Build 3.0.3830 is now available from the Beta downloads page - http://www.sharpcap.co.uk/sharpcap/downloads/beta-versions . There is also a new license key which (like the new beta build) will run until the 7th May. I am ...

Please try the new beta build (3.0.3830) - if I've got it right then SharpCap should no longer crash but just give you a warning message when you close the setup dialog. I have a suspicion that the dialog will not actually close, but maybe there is a cancel button or close box you can use? What I do...

Hi Gary, yes, it looks like the SSAG driver is trying to save its settings and making a mess of it. I will see if I can work out a way not to crash when that happens and just ignore the error - maybe that will allow you to set the gain correctly even if it doesn't get saved for next time. I'll let y...
