Captures: Two problems

#1

Post by DanK »

I have 2 problems with individual RAW/FITS format captures:

1) Why does Sharpcap keep accumulating more frames than what I set in the capture selection window?
2) If Sharpcap is going to start capturing a second group of the same number of frames, then have a subscript that distinguishes it from the first group, otherwise adding the two groups together over-writes the first name as they have the same number, identifying characteristics

Still haven't figured out the Livestacking aspects of Sharpcap...

Hi,

if you are capturing at a relatively high frame right then you sometimes get a few extra frames in SharpCap 3.2. I think this is now fixed in SharpCap 3.3.

For the file naming issue, look at how you have set up the file names in the settings – make sure that the name of the file itself includes the time of capture (which is actually the time that the group of capture starts).

Cheers, Robin
