Hi,

and just so I know, what filter wheel are you using?

cheers,

Robin

Hi, no, I hadn't spotted that, but I will investigate the new version. I will have to think carefully as updating to Python3 may breaks some scripts (it's a shame I didn't spot this before the relase of SC4.0). I have never seen or tried any C# numpy/scipy libraries. If they are standard .NET then y...

Hi, I think I know what might have caused the Meade move axis problem - I had code to allow MoveAxis on some old Meade ASCOM drivers that did not support it. Recently I realised that was being used for all Meade drivers, which was probably wrong, and in trying to fix that only applied my fix to the ...

Hi, there was a temporary version of the download page which I have now removed and redirected to the main download page. For some reason if you previously visited that page in your web broswer and go back to it, it may show up with the old content. As Menno says, press F5 to reload or visit the off...

Hi, yes, the exposure bug is fixed - I will push out an auto-update in the next day or so to get that to as many people as possible. When you say it forgets your filter wheel - what exactly does it forget? Do you have to go back to the hardware settings and change the wheel to your ASCOM driver or i...

Hi Don,

can you share the problem flat frame please - from the log it looks like it was a lower resolution, which would stop it from loading. The only thing I can think of is that you captured the flat in ROI of 6248x4176 (which must have been ROI in 47megapixel mode).

cheers,

Hi, your camera has colour balance adjustment controls, which will appear in the controls on the right hand side. These allow you to adjust the brightness of the red and blue channels to match the green (see https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.0/#ZWO%20Camera%20Controls). Moving these settings away from t...

Hi, the first thing to suggest would be to bring the two cameras back to separate USB ports on the computer if at all possible and see if that helps. Also try one on the powered hub and one back to the PC. Some types of horizontal banding can result from noise fluctuations in the USB 5V supply (see ...

Hi, interesting stuff. SharpCap does some fancy footwork with Basler cameras to use their trigger functionality to bypass the normal exposure length limits. There's nothing clever like that in the FLIR code - it just uses the FLIR SDK, so no surprise that it mirrors the limits of the other software....

Hi, the latest uploaded version - 4.0.7995 - contains two changes that should help 1) The ability to zoom the horizontal axis of the live stack histogram - this gives better fine control over the levels 2) The level that is generated after background subtraction when live stacking is reduced from 5%...
