On screen view not matching Video clip & dinamic range

#1

Post by Watcher »

When using the 183mc camera and shooting the moon with my Evostar72 ed, the image on the screen is very different than the video clip. The screen view shows the very darks and the very lights and not much in between. So I am forced to shoot short clips view and change setting and do it again until I get workable settings. Any suggestions?
Also, I cannot image the full contrast between the very brights and the very darks. For instance I was shooting the area of maria on the eastern side of the moon a day or so after Full and I could not get enough exposure on the craters near the rim between the terminator and and night without over exposing to white the brightest features of the whole moon. Again, suggestions?

Hi,

have you adjusted the display stretch in SharpCap at some point in the past and then left it turned on by mistake?

That seems like something that could cause the sort of problem you are describing.

cheers,

Robin
