Re: 11M vs non-exit

Robin, thank you! I just took a bunch of Darks using the NON-EXIST read mode. If I go out and image in 11M mode, will the lights work with the darks? I'm sorry for all the questions and really do appreciate your help.

Thank you!

Re: 11M vs non-exit

Hi Robin,

My mistake on the spelling. The only two options in the Read Mode tab are 11M MODE and NON-EXIST. My camera is a QHY294C Pro. Can you tell me which one I should use?

Thank you!

11M vs non-exit

Hello, I just recently updated to the latest version and there is something in the camera settings I don't remember seeing before. Just above the RAW drop down is another drop down that gives you the option of using 11M or non-exit. I believe that's what they are. Can someone explain what these are ...

FWHM Question

Hello, I have been live stacking with SharpCap for a couple of years now. I'm curious if I need to make any adjustments or even use the FWHM filter. According to astronomy.tools calculator, the ideal pixel size for OK Seeing (2-4" FWHM) seeing is: 0.67 - 2" / pixel. My setup is 1.19"....

Re: Dithering with PHD2 and QHY294C pro

Robin, I'm so sorry to bother you with yet another question about this. I have downloaded 4.0 and understand the differences between live and still modes. However, when launching "Start Capture" I don't understand how to integrate dithering with this. As far as I can tell, the only way I c...

Re: Dithering with PHD2 and QHY294C pro

Thank you Robin! I'm still a bit confused. If I don't ask SharpCap to save the dither frames, how does dithering remove walking noise and such? In other words, what should my settings be if for example I'm taking two minute subs? Do I save the dithered frames or no? Also, my camera is a QHY294C Pro ...

Re: QHY294C cooler doesn't register in SharpCap

Hi Robin, I believe I found the problem. I hooked my camera, with cooler running to SharpCap earlier today. The cooler kept cutting in and out and the camera also cut in and out. A few weeks ago, I bought a USB 3.0 extension cable for my camera. So, I've been running the camera cable to the extensio...
