Hi Bob,

actually, I had to put out a new update today to fix a different issue, so it would be worth your trying this new update - 4.1.10407.

If it still breaks, please send the bug report (if prompted) and let me know.

cheers,

Robin

Hi folks,

progress on this is slow but steady - no way to actually take a mosaic yet, but a lot of work done on planning how the panels need to be laid out and illustrating how it will work



cheers,

Hi, right, new version online now : https://www.sharpcap.co.uk/sharpcap/sharpcap-downloads/sharpcap-4-1-beta I'm unable to properly test the plate solving part as it is a) daylight and b) cloudy, but I have undone the incorrect change to the epoch, so unless I broke two things, it should be fine now...

Hi,

good to hear that the cooler is now working for you

The temperature has practically no effect on the analysis results, so you can quite happily leave it turned off during the analysis.

cheers,

Hi Carlo, actually it's impossible to have live stacking create RAW images - they have to be RGB... The reason is that the main feature of live stacking is that all the frames get aligned with each other, removing the effects of gradual drift or field rotation. This has to be done on a full colour, ...

Hi, normally you should use the camera from the 'SVBony' section of the cameras menu, not the 'DirectShow'. By using DirectShow you miss out on the advanced features of the camera (high bit depth, cooling, etc). You will get more control over the camera with the 'SVBony Cameras' option, but some of ...

Hi, that looks better (although the display stretch you have on is whiting out the image, which puts you at a disadvantage when choosing a good area to do the analysis on). A lower frame rate can slow things down, but another culprit is lower light levels which lead to longer exposures being used. I...

Ok, thanks everyone, I've got it... There was one place where the epoch of a set of co-ordinates was incorrect, so I fixed that (which was fine), but I then decided that code that looked the same elsewhere must also be wrong and changed the same code in another place where it *was* correct to begin ...

Hi, I just had a look at the code, and the flat file naming uses the video capture template on the grounds that it is creating a single output file rather than a series of individual files (Capture_00001, Capture_00002, etc). So, if you put the sortable tag onto the video capture template, I think i...

Hi Bob, yes, that all makes sense - the error is happening in response to ticking or clearing the 'Select all' box, so the proper action there fails to happen and then the program will produce a crash report soon after. There must be some detail of the setup on your system that is not happening on m...
