Is there a way to independently specify camera frame rate and exposure time in SharpCap for a ZWO290MC camera. I am trying to capture videos of lunar transit of ISS. I need to keep the exposure time down to about 1 ms to avoid blurring due to ISS angle rate but the USB transfer rates can't keep up t...

Thanks for the prompt responses. I am blown away by the Live Stack mode for DSO. Live Stacking is a bit hit at our outreach pblic viewing sessions. I know that planetary Live Stack would be challenging but boy if you could pull it off...….

Does SharpCap have the capability to Live Stack Planetary images?

The DSS images do not appear to be Debayer, no color and checker board pattern across the image. Any idea what I am doing wrong either on ...

Up to about a week ago I used a iOptron phone app and polar telescope to align my CGEM for imaging. I could reliably get 3-4 arc minute alignment accuracy starting about one half hour after sunset. I recently started using the PA feature in SharpCap Pro to achieve alignment accuracies of 20-25 arc s...
