Misleading live stacking bit depth display

Post by gaar »

This bug report is based on the following thread in the General forum:

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2878

The bug is cosmetic and low priority (at least to me).

Using SharpCap 3.2.6366.0 32 bit on Windows 10.

The Status tab of the Live Stacking module shows a bit depth value that increases as subexposures are stacked. The display formats the bit depth with a numeral after the decimal point, e.g. "22.0". Based on the thread referenced above, bit depth cannot take on fractional values. Therefore, the ".0" section is misleading and should be removed.

Thank you!

Okay, thanks - will see what can be done.

I have a feeling that it was fractional once and maybe that got lost when Sigma clipping got added in.
