Hi Bob,

ZWO usually send me an email when they create a new update – you can visit their webpage and see what the latest version is here : https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/software-drivers (click on the developers tab).

You can get the most recent update for SharpCap from the downloads page – that's currently 3.2.6457.

Cheers, Robin

Hi,

yes, the auto update version usually lacks some way behind the bleeding edge that you can get from the downloads page. The idea is to avoid sending out a new version by auto update before it had enough testing in the field to be sure that there aren't any really stupid bugs in it.

Cheers, Robin
