Re: Calculating Dithering in New Sequencer Sharpcap 4

In your example each frame will be 150 seconds and three frames will take 450 seconds. Set your dither timer to run out during the third frame and it will dither when that frame is completed. So a dither timer of 301 to 449 seconds would work.

Re: Sharpcap 4.0 (64) hardware tab not finding focusers?

This happened to me. I updated from ASCOM 6.3 to 6.5 and SC 4.0 worked. Try updating ASCOM.

Re: SC not seeing hardware

I had version 6.3

Might be good to update. I tend not to update ASCOM and other drivers if everything is working properly.

Yep...updating ASCOM fixed it. Seems to work fine now.


Thanks.

SC not seeing hardware

4.0.0739 I updated to 4.0.0739 today and It didn't see my filter wheel or EAF on start up. I was able to point it at my filter wheel but I can't get it to see my EAF. Under select hardware drop down it only shows "none" and the properties button is grayed out on the focuser so I can't even...

Re: Difficulties with Sequencer

Have you saved the sequence and tried loading it back? Do all the fields go back to what you set them at when you load your sequence back in?

Re: Plate solve troubles

Give ASPS a try, I've installed it on multiple machines and been using it with SC for 3 years or so and it's always worked without any problems. ASPS will solve within 10 seconds or so which is a bit slower than the others I think but I don't mess with it because it's always worked without fail. It ...

Re: Best plate solver for Cartes Du Ceil Sharopcap Pro

If the mount is off by 5 or more degrees it will prompt you before it moves the mount. If it's way off (I think more than 15 deg. but I can't remember). It won't sync but will give you an error message. The second one doesn't happen too often. Normally I slew to target and then plate solve. If you k...
