Re: capture dark's not working using hardware binning

Robin, just to let you know I was able to take my dark's with hardware bin on by lowering the Turbo USB from my previous 96% to 91%. Thanks again!

Re: capture dark's not working using hardware binning

Hi Robin

I had the turbo USB set to 96% and perhaps like you mention it was set too high. I will lower this number and watch my frame count to see if it lowers or increases. Thanks again.

Cheers,

Chris

Re: capture dark's not working using hardware binning

Thank you Robin for looking into it and it will be great when I can take & save dark's in order to remove the horizontal banding that appears when capturing images with hardware binning engaged.

[SOLVED] capture dark's not working using hardware binning

Robin, last night using my ZWO ASI 1600 MC camera I tried to capture/save dark's using the "capture dark's" feature in 16 bit mode, bin 2 with hardware binning on. The dark would just expose and it would say at the bottom right corner 0/10 but once the exposure complete there was no change...

Re: Preview of updated SharpCap Website

New web site looks great Robin and the Pro features can be clearly separated now with the gold pro tags from the standard features.

Re: Plate Solving Issues

Hi Robin

Thank you for the helpful feedback. My FOV is even smaller at 26 x 39 arcmin and I will do as you suggested as soon as these clouds leave. I have not tried Astrotortilla on it's own but as you said it probably will not work.

Cheers,

Chris

Re: Plate Solving Issues

Hi Robin I am also having plate solving issues using Sharpcap latest 3.1 version and Astrotortilla installed. My mount is connected to the SKY X Pro and when I command the mount to go to an object it is clearly in the field of view but not centered. I then select the plate solve tab in Sharpcap (con...

Re: A few issues in latest version

Ok, thanks to Chris providing some test images and settings I now have an understanding of the issue where the live stack image would look noisier after each new frame arrived. When the frame from the camera was processed through the live stacking, the frame sent to display mistakenly had no exposu...
