g2-1600 Moravian Instruments CCD

#1

Post by rfa »

I own two G2-1600 from Moravian Instruments. One camera per Ascom native driver. I would like to use SharpCap for precise polar alignment. Although my camera is present in the capture window. After start capturing the image is not shown correctly, vic see sharpcap_screenshot 03.12.2020 Image. I have trieb both version of SharpCap, the actual one and the old one. None works correctly.
Since I have to re-new my licence, I can't do it, without SharpCap works firne with my camera.
What can be the reason?
Thank you for help

Hi,

it looks like only the top 1/3 of the image has data in it - this could be an indication that there is a mix up between the ASCOM driver and SharpCap over whether the image is in colour or not. If SharpCap is expecting a colour image but gets a monochrome one then there would only be 1/3 as much data as expected.

The best way to understand more about what is going on would be as follows:

1) install the latest SharpCap from the downloads page - 3.2.6248 is pretty old now and some of the things we want to test are only going to be in later versions.

2) turn on additional logging (see https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/3.2/#General%20Tab - second item from the bottom). Do this before opening the camera

3) Open the camera and let it run for a few frames then close it again.

4) Go to Help->Show Log, capture the log (which should be quite long) and post the contents here.

Hopefully the log should track the communication between SharpCap and the ASCOM driver so we can start to understand what is causing the problem.

cheers,

Robin

Hi,

unfortunately, the log above really just shows the information about SharpCap starting up - there are no entries relating to opening the camera or it trying to capture any frames, sorry.

However, I have seen your separate email and the screenshot of the error does suggest some changes that I could make to try to address the problem. I will put these into the next update for SharpCap 3.3 beta and then let you know to test again.

thanks,

Robin

Hi Robin,
thank you very much for you help. As soon as it will work again, I will renew the licence again.
One remark: It seems to me, that once SharpCap has connected to a driver, it does not "realize" if there are any changes with the drive. It is also not possible manually to eliminate the driver.

Hi,

not quite sure what you mean by 'manually eliminate a driver'. I guess you might be referring to which devices appear in the cameras list. For cameras that SharpCap can talk to directly, you will usually only see the cameras that are actually connected to the computer as SharpCap can ask for the list of currently available cameras. For Ascom cameras and some DirectShow cameras, you will see the camera in the list regardless of whether it's connected.

Cheers, Robin

Hi Robin,
I have downloaded new version 3.3 and tested it. Now SC shows two Moravian Instruments Ascom camera (why two??? - there is only one) but the failure messages is still the same.

Hi,

The fact that you seem to Moravian cameras is down to the manufacturers making to options in store so that if you do happen to purchase more than one then you can use both at once if you really wanted to. The fixes I have are for the other option where SharpCap directly controls the camera rather than through Ascom, and they haven't made it to a public release yet. Hoping to get a new version out in the next few days.

Cheers, Robin

Hi Robin,
I have had installed a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of the G2-1600 and I had installed SharpCap 3.1, 3.2, 3.3. Tonight it came into my mind, delete the 32-bit SIPS and all SharpCap installations. Just left the 64-bit SIPS with Ascom driver and reinstalled SharpCap 3.3. In the camera window I can see
  • G2-1600 /KAF - 1603ME)
  • Moravian Instruments USB Camera 2
  • Morativan Instruments USB Camera 1
Clicking on 1. brings the reported failure messages
Clicking on 2. brings the failure messages "Camera not found"
Clicking on 3. starts camara and it is working now! HURRAJ
Thank you very much for your help - I will now buy the new licence.

Hi,

good to hear that you have things working – you may also wish to try the very latest version from the beta downloads page (https://www.sharpcap.co.uk/sharpcap/sha ... s/3-3-beta , updated yesterday). This version has the potential fix for the first issue that you were seeing when choosing the "G2-1600" option..

Cheers, Robin
