Hi,

Just tried this in the latest update. It seems to only allow frames in multiples of 5? Can it be made open-ended?

Thanks

Hi,

the up/down arrows move in steps of five, but you can type any value you like in the box instead of using the up/down.

cheers,

Only if the number to be entered is greater than 5.

So I can enter 6, but not 1,2,3 or 4.

Can you confirm its reproducible on your system?

Thanks

Ah, OK, yes the minimum was 5 - I can change that.

I would love to start using Metaguide to guide and dither. I am not too savvy with the scripting in SharpCap4. I have no need for live stacking. All I want is to ask Metaguide to dither every frame or every other frame during a normal imaging set. So I want the most simple approach to get this working as is possible. Can someone give me the specific steps I need to follow to make this work?
