Output Format

I'm using SharpCap 3.0 and have saved my settings as needed. The only item that will not save is the output format. This always defaults to PNG. I have found the FITS works best with my camera (ASI1600mc-cool).

I usually remember to change the settings for a run but forgot last night and ruined my run.

Is there anyway to save the output setting to FITS for saved profiles?

Thanks
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I think that you are seeing the effects of having this option ticked in the settings - https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/2.9/#Start% ... 20cameras) - pop into the settings and turn it off and then the capture profile should load the output format along with all the other settings.

Hope this helps,

Robin

I'm unclicking the Auto and selecting FITS then saving the profile (or creating new ones). I then shut down the program, restart, load the profile, and the Auto is rechecked under the camera settings. I have to manual fix this each time but all the other settings (exposure, gain, etc) remain as desired.

Hi Kevin,

did you untick this option?
Capture.PNG
Capture.PNG (27.34 KiB) Viewed 2835 times
When I untick that and save a profile with FITS as the output format it loads and sets the output format back to fits as I'd expect (testing in the latest 3.1)

cheers,

Robin
