Hello Ruby and Robin, It was this evening a surprise after installing the last version of the SynScan software (2.4.8). I found a directory with 2 script for SharpCap. I tested one script this evening. It was not working at the first time and not at the second time ... and not at the end because sev...

Hello Javier,

Do you know that you can model an occultation with Tangra ?

Hello Javier, I guess that the readout of the camera is independent of the other function of SharpCap. So, if the focuser is moving a little bit, then it will not change the frame per second of the camera. That is different with changing the exposure time. What will be the delay in the camera for ch...

Hello Bob, If you want to observe only the prominences, then you can have a look at the coronagraph. But today the telescopes and the cameras allow to take images of the sun disk and the prominences ... but only with a narrow band (for example Ha). The spectroheliography allows the observation of th...

Hello Javier and Robin, I had the same idea, but I think that I have a better one now. The problem of the exposure time ramp is ... it will be difficult to analyse with the different time. Other problem ... you can not have the LED calibration with the QHY-174GPS camera. At least not easy, you can c...

Hello Robin, 0.1° ? If I'm kidding ? ... yes and no. Some people (very few, but maybe in the future more people) do spectrographic observations with SharpCap. It is necessary to perform the guiding on the slit itself. So it is necessary to have the correct view in the guiding camera (that images the...

Hello Robin, Nice. Please think to the people using off-line computer system. So, the file has to be "simple" to find and easy to copy on the off-line computer. And when you finish the 0.25° database, then you can start the 0.1° database ;) One question ... was it not possible to use the d...

Hello Robin,

Thanks for the info.
I can do a connection, but not yet the command to PHD2.

Hello, I have no QHY-533 camera, but several other camera from QHY. It is a bad, very bad idea from QHY to change the image size between the Still mode and the Video mode. Some detectors have the pre-scan region and QHY decides to show the pre-scan in one mode and not in the other. So it is maybe th...

Hello Szumi, In "normal" use of SharpCap ... no, PHD2 does not receive a command to stop the guiding if you move the telescope from SharpCap (or perform a GOTO to Target). I forget fast each time to stop or pause PHD2 before changing the object in SharpCap and then PHD2 lost the star. Robi...
