Hi,

you shouldn't need to – as long as Astap knows where it's index files are then SharpCap should be fine.

Hi,

the first log is the sort that I want, but unfortunately the one you've attached just shows the progress of SharpCap through its start-up code and doesn't show anything to do with attempting to plate solve. What you need to do is to run SharpCap and make the problem happen and then capture the log after you've done that.

Cheers, Robin

Hi,

You can send it via email – there is a 'contact us' link at the bottom of each page in the forums that will pop up an email that will get to me.

Cheers, Robin
