SharpCap Forums

BlackWikkett thanks for your suggestion. 1) I don't need and don't use any planetarium software. Why should i use stellarium? 2) I repeat that Meade Autostar 497 (that is present on Meade LX90) hasn't any sort of coordinate setting (i also installed a 3rd party pacthed firmware: it hasn't too that s...

Hi, Okay, the procedure is something like this 1) SharpCap asks the mount for its current pointing position (which may be JNOW or J 2000 – we don't care) 2) Image frame is captured and passed to the plate solving engine 3) the plate solver calculates the position of the centre of frame in J 2000 co...

Thanks Robin.

So my meade mount claims to use JNOW? Under equinox It reports 2020.00273224044...

So what happens exactly during sync?

Any undo last frame future upgrade also in SC, Robin?

I don't use ASPS but have been using Astrotortilla successfully for plate solving with SharpCap for over a year now. Sounds like you've got ASPS actually reading your star field and generating a solution that it then send the mount to slew to. You're reporting the slew are still off. Every time I'v...

And try the undo last frame function, that substracts last frame from the stack session.
For me is the most important feature.
I look forward to seeing this function in SC as soon as possible.

Thanks Robin

Meade lx90. Plate solve works with no problem, as you can see. Immagine.jpg But when i sync the mount or sync and recenter it, the coordinates change. And they always change by an offset between 0,23 and 0,28 degree... 2_.jpg I suspect that this amount of offset is due to a coordinate conversion, fr...

Yes, solved. With CPWI: - first open CPWI, click connect scope, and keep opened the program (in background) - than open Sharpcap and use CPWI in the dropdown mount menù With Celestron Ascom: It works but i must disconnect everything and reconnect, expecially usb from PC, after switchong on the mount...

Hi to all.

I cannot connect my CPC Celestron in sharpcap; while with CPWI and nexremote everything works.

With CPWI and nexremote no problem But with Celestron ascom, CPWI or Poth nothing works
Any help?

Thanks

Hi, Yes, the exposure did come out in the filename for me. No, it doesn't for me. Look at this....You can see that exposure should be 4 s, not 32 s. Exposure isn't single frame exposure, but it's total exposure... Do you understand now? I begin to think that I made a mistake in editing the filename...
