Dithering Taking Too Long

[ScottD]

Hello and Happy New Year!

I'm pretty sure this topic has been covered before, but I can't find it. I just started dithering and LOVE the results! However, I'm wondering if I have the settings wrong or if what is happening is just the way it works. Let's say I'm doing a 60 second exposure and dithering every four exposures. It only takes a few seconds to dither and settle, but then SharpCap runs through at least one complete exposure and most times it runs through two. This is really adding a lot of time to my evenings and not getting the desired amount of stacked images. I travel to my sites, therefore any time wasted is lost sleep!

Can anyone shed some light on this situation?

Thank you,

Scott

Hi Scott,

if your SharpCap is up to date then there should be a 'Reduce Exposure while Dithering' option right at the bottom - enable that and you get 1s exposures during the dither which should resolve this problem.
