Re: newbie just switched from dslr to asi 533 color
Hi,
firstly, if you are really using the ZWO ASCOM driver then the best suggestion is not to use it and to allow SharpCap to talk directly to the camera - you should see the camera listed in the 'ZWO ASI Cameras' section of the camera menu - choose that option. If you do that then gain should be in the controls on the right hand side, and for reasons that are historical for ZWO cameras, offset appears as 'Brightness'.
If you use the ASCOM driver then gain should still be listed on the right (under the exposure slider), but the offset will need to be adjusted in the ASCOM driver options - click on the 'Show' button in the control area on the right to access them.
cheers,
Robin
