Unable to capture dark frames

[MikeT]

Hello robin, I've previously built a dark frame library for my ZWO1600MM camera. This evening I've set up to do some further dark frames - but when I begin the dark capture at the end of the first exposure I get an orange error message "An error has occurred while writing to the capture file. No more frames will be written during this capture. Maybe the file is too big or the disk is full?"

I have plenty of disk space (70 GB) and can't see why I'm getting this error. I can capture snapshots and light images without a problem. I tried updating to the latest 6322 but still get the same error. Also tried changing the dard save from Dark Library to Capture file - no difference.

Is this a bug or have I set something wrong ?

Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,

That error message comes up when there is a problem writing on output image file or video file. Being out of disk space is problem the most common cause for it for most users but maybe not in your case.

Probably the simplest thing to do is to have another go at reproducing the problem and then after it has happened, send me the SharpCap log which should contain enough information to explain what is going on. It could be that SharpCap is having trouble writing the temporary image files for each frame or that something in your choice of output format is causing a problem.

I just had a quick play with my 1600 MM and couldn't see the problem here.

Cheers, Robin

Robin,
Output file choice is TIF, Mono16. Strange thing is that it will capture images in the normal way OK from Start Capture or from Snapshot.

Also tried with another camera (Skyris 445) and get the same error in the log file.

Platform is Win 10 v1909 with 2020-05 cumulative updates for Windows and .NET frameworks.

Hi,

It looks like a bug in trying to add some header data to the fits file – if you change your preferred output format to PNG then you can probably work around this for now. I will have to make an update in a future version of SharpCap to fix the bug properly though.

Unfortunately there isn't enough information in the log to let me work out which header value is causing the problem.

Cheers, Robin

Robin,
Your workaround was successful - switching to PNG save format the dark frames did save OK. Furthermore when I switched back to TIF that now works again!

Thanks for your help,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Good to hear that you have things working again – I think I have a fix for the underlying problem in writing the fits headers which will be in the next update SharpCap 3.2.

Cheers, Robin
