Re: Black Video while playing AVI files from Sharpcap

Robin,

Will do. I have the settings and the AVI images. Do you want to see the one AVI that worked or just one of the bad ones?

Black Video while playing AVI files from Sharpcap

I was taking some video captures of Jupiter and Saturn last night and out of about 10 captures, only one AVI file seemed to work when I played it. The other nine captures all come out as black when I play the AVI. I have never seen this before and lesson learned after taking the capture of the video...

Plate Solving

I see that Sharpcap 3.0 supports plate solving and I was wondering if it's compatible with Plate Solve 2?

I see that there are 3 options available but none of the options lists Plate Solve 2 which I have used in APT.

Save Individual Frame Format

I checked the option during Live Stacking to 'Save Individual Frames' and Sharpcap Pro created multiple .PNG files. Is this the format that's used to put into a program like PIxInsight or Deep Sky Stacker to stack? I expected it to be in a .FIT type format? Is there some option that I can check to p...

Sigma Clipping setting during Live Stacking

Does Sharpcap Pro support Sigma Clipping and if so, where is this set and the values?

I have an image that has a satellite streak through it and I would like to prevent this from happening in the future.

Celstron Focuser with Sharpcap

I can't seem to get the Celestron Focuser to work with Sharcap using Celestron Focus Driver using the AUX cable connection. If I use a separate USB Cable to the focuser instead of the AUX connection, it work just fine using the Celestron USB Focus Driver. I don't have an issue with the ASCOM drivers...

Polemaster or Sharcap Pro Polar Alignment

I would like to attempt to use the Sharpcap Pro Polar alignment instead of purchasing a Polemaster for my equatorial mount. I do not have a guiding scope and my camera is a ZWO ASI 183MC that I use for imaging with a Hyperstar f/1.9 Focal Ratio which brings my focal length down to 390MM on my 8 inch...
