Record sequence of videos

#1

Post by mdborland »

I'm new to SharpCap and having trouble figuring out how to do something very simple: record a 60s video every 10 minutes. I though the DeepSky sequencer would let me do that, but it puts my camera (ASI174MM) in still mode and there's no way to put it in video mode.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

the easiest way to do this is to use the 'Simple Sequence' settings in the Start Capture window.

Set each capture to be 60 frames and then the interval between captures to 10:00 (10 minutes), and also set the number of repeats you want. Finally, don't forget to set the capture format to the desired one (AVI, SER).

cheers,

Robin
