Hi Peter,

thanks for the report - I will try to fix that one.

cheers,

Hi Gary, the best documentation is here - https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.0/#The%20SharpCap%20Sequence%20Editor - however, it only covers the steps that were available when SharpCap 4 was released, not the ones added more recently. I can see a couple of things that you need to fix... 1) You need a 'Mo...

Hmm, some things to try out if you don't mind... 1) Try bin 2 without hardware binning, does that work? 2) Try setting an ROI with a width divisible by 16 and then going into bin 2 with hardware binning and see if that works. The latter is related to some rules ZWO have to set the size of the captur...

Hi, there's a lot to be said for that approach - you will always get better stacking results if you use a dedicated processing application, or better planetarium results with something like Cartes-du-ciel, and so on. However, running multiple applications is not always the easiest way to do somethin...

Hi, with regards to the comet streaking out, I wonder if somehow you swtiched back to normal alignment mode instead of comet alignment? Alternatively, something else is being picked up as the comet (brightest star maybe?) - if that is the case, the way to fix is to turn on highlight detected stars i...

Hi Tim, thanks for the report - glad that it worked well for you! I will have to look into having some way to log the data automatically from each frame (ideally grouping the data for each star somehow so that it is easily accessible). From the point of view of output data, I think a dual approach m...

Hi Jean-Francois,

thanks for the suggestions - I am going to look into them and try to implement some. Unfortunately the HD star catalog is too big (225000 objects) to be included by default.

cheers,

Hi, The zigzags are following the movement of the image due to the mount not tracking perfectly - probably some declination drift added to some periodic error in RA. Two approaches to consider : 1) Check your dark frames : They should have exactly the same settings as your light frames, and be taken...

Hi, 'Hardware Binning' on ZWO cameras is pretty much all handled by the ZWO SDK. SharpCap gets to ask if the camera supports that feature and then gets to turn it on or off - other than that, SharpCap talks to the camera in precisely the same way whether or not is available or active. So... The fact...

Hi, a couple of quick suggestions re. the colour missing issue... * Check the Colour Space setting is RAW16 * Check the 'Debayer Preview' setting is set to 'On'. * Also check the saturation slider (right hand most vertical slider on the live stack histogram) has not been moved to the minimum value. ...
