Capture without multiple histograms

Hi, I'm using SharpCap.SelectedCamera.CaptureSingleFrame() to capture a series of frames, but I get an additional ..CameraSettings.txt file and a histogram file each time. I'd like to limit this to one of each of these files per capture session like the standard capture dialog provides for. Is there...

Script exit

Hi,
Does anyone know how to exit a script, other than by running off the end that doesn't cause an exception and SharpCap to exit. I''ve tried
quit()
exit()
sys.exit(0)
Thanks

Mount Control

Hi, I pretty new to scripting, but I'm trying to find a way to control the Mount positions (in RA & Dec). The ultimate aim is to write a script that will dither between frames - without the added complexity of PHD2. I can see I can move the mount with the SlewTo() fn Ie SharpCap.Mounts.SelectedM...

Re: Brightness and Offset

Hi Robin, The "Brightness" parameter does have an offset effect, but it's not the same as when the camera is accessed via ASCOM, which of course is pretty common. I can't see how to post images here or I'd post the histograms comparing the effect of brightness with the native driver and of...

Brightness and Offset

Hi, I'm using a ZWO ASI178MC camera. There is no option to set the offset, but I have seen it suggested that this is controlled by the "Brightness" option. However, This does not appear to be the case. If I compare the resulting FITS images, or the histograms created by Sharp cap, there is...
