Need restart to update Brain sensor data
If I change cameras by unplugging/reconnect, the Smart Histogram doesn't update the sensor data it's using. It has the same graph as the previous camera. If I quit out of SharpCap and restart it with the camera connected or connecting the camera after it's restarted, the sensor data is correct. I'm ...

Re: RA and DEC in FITS header/TimeStamp
Robin, Would it be possible for SharpCap to grab the position information when you use the "Sync PC clock" function and then apply it to the FITS header of any subsequent images until the camera gets disconnected ? That way you could run the camera in 8-bit mode until the GPS information i...

Re: QHY1274M-GPS LAT data discrepancies
Scrap that. I've found how I can move that bar around (right-click / Move).

Re: QHY1274M-GPS LAT data discrepancies
I would have thought "GPS ON" would have the window visible and "GPS OFF" would close the window completely. Maybe there's a circumstance I haven't thought of where you would want the window present & minimized but the GPS Off. Part of the issue for me appears to be the way t...

Re: QHY1274M-GPS LAT data discrepancies
Direct hit. Thanks.
There's still the little niggle thing of the minimized GPS window sitting on top of the frame progress information if the main screen is maximised.
Thanks for the 16bit information.

Re: QHY1274M-GPS LAT data discrepancies
Thanks Robin. That's nice to get that one solved. I still get rubbish GPS data if the image is set to 16 bit. I haven't seen anyone else mention it so I assume it's specific to my early camera but then I don't know if people are using 16bit mode for timing and they may not have noticed. Could you co...

Re: QHY1274M-GPS LAT data discrepancies
This seems to be a commonly described problem on the Occultation mailing lists. My latitude reported by SharpCap is around 1-2km out. It's also quite unstable. Using your description of the long/lat format, I tried it with QHY's TimeREC program and the decoded position reported is rock solid and is ...

Re: Option to disable sync when platesolving
Well, look at that. Just after you go to the effort to add that in, someone on Cloudy Nights points out that you can use the ASCOM mount simulator to achieve the same result with what you already had.

Re: Option to disable sync when platesolving
Displaying the result in the notification bar would be great. That's way better than the alternative - nothing. Is it possible to link to planetarium software to show the solved position without a physical goto mount in the equation ? I imagine that would be the ideal outcome but it's in the "n...
