Hi Robin, Here are the two dialogues; to the left is that accessed via SharpCap and 'SHOW' optiosn; to the right is that accessed via SG Pro via 'SETTINGS'. Note that the driver number is the same for each 7.0.8.25151. The SG Pro version is inviting me to select Colour (or Mono) Camera and also Low,...

Robin... I have now deleted the Atik "Core Software with Dusk" and instead installed the "without Dusk" version. It now works fine with SharpCap (albeit in daytime test) although I think I have to prior set the Gain in Atik's Infinity and hope that the camera remembers. In SG Pro...

I concur Robin. Tonight, I downloaded a new version of the Atik core software in the hope that the known Atik Horizon OSC ASCOM driver problem was sorted. Now it became very conspicuous that the camera did keep disconnecting and reconnecting for no apparent reason. This occured in both Infinity and ...

Hi Robin, I think I have identified the issue and have written to Atik Support as I think it is a problem with the new driver (released last week) that is designed to permit the setting of Gain through ASCOM. What now happens in (say) Sequence Generator Pro is that this dialogue box appears. Dialogu...

Hi Robin, I have an update... Atik has now fixed the ASCOM driver so that in Sequence Generator Pro or Maxim you now get invited to select 'Atik Camera' listed under ASCOM options (as before). Then, in (ASCOM) settings it asks "which specific camera. If you select Atik Horizon it recognises tha...

Thanks Robin,

I have been in touch with Vince at Atik Support and he will talk to Chris (their developer).

Thanks

This might indeed suggest that there is an issue as described. Yet other people do seem to have Atik Cameras working with SharpCap. Maybe it is just the recent ASCOM driver update.

Hi Robin, I think I might have found a 'bug' relating to using Atik Horizon camera with Sharpcap. As described earlier, my Histogram is set to the extreme left and an on screen image captured live by the camera is very dark, with just the odd pinpoints of light for the brightest few stars. As you su...

That could be it Robin. In Atik Infinity whilst you can apply wholly bespoke settings, you also have a series of presets. That takes the pain out of getting an initial image on screen as one of 'low', 'medium' or 'high' will always deliver something close. It never even crossed my mind that I needed...

First clear night in ages (albeit brief before clouds rolled in) so a first opportunity to try out Sharpcap outdoors with my Atik Horizon. Chris, I was using the August 2018 Atik drivers. I quickly got a crude image of the Orion Nebula on screen, but whatever settings I tried, the small histogram da...
