Now i rebooted the laptop after reinstalled ascom and it says this:

But when i go platesolve it doesn't platesolve. Can it be because i'm using a starizona nexus and the field of view is larger?

I am not sure but the error SyncToCoordinates is not allowed when tracking is False suggests to me that your mount is not in tracking mode?
In that case a Plate Solve Only will work but a Plate Solve & Sync will not work since there is nothing to sync because tracking is off.

My mount is virtual.
But after reboot the laptop i think that part may be solved. Should be something with sharpcap and ascom not communicating because of the drivers. The last issue was not plate solving which is weird because all settings are the same.The only things that were changed were updating sharpcap and using a starizona nexus. I tried different sigma numbers but didn't solve. Tonight i will try again and capture the log. I'm really sad about this suddenly happen 😔

Hi,

even with the virtual mount you need to enable tracking, otherwise it is not possible to sync to RA/Dec co-ordinates. Previous versions of SharpCap tried to send SyncToAltAz commands to some mounts that were capable of accepting RA/Dec sync commands, leading to problems. I suspect that the virtual mount driver you are using was OK with the SyncToAltAz with tracking stopped, but needs tracking running for an RA/Dec sync.

cheers,

Robin

And were do i enable tracking? Sharpcap? Ascom? Stellarium?
On sharpcap when i click the Virtual Telescope on Hardware, I can see in ASCOM Telescope Virtual a checkbox: Autounpark/track on start and a tracking checkbox on the small window. Could it be that? (image with 2 red circles): https://ibb.co/BtLz01R

Hi,

you could use that option, or just toggle the tracking button in the bottom right of the SharpCap mount control section, which toggles tracking on/off.

cheers,

Robin
