Great plan of action! We are in that weird weather pattern where high wispy clouds come and go plus we are getting very nice 5 to 10 mph nightly breezes. I will try to work astrophotography as soon as possible!admin wrote: Wed Jun 05, 2024 9:47 am Hi,

SharpCap normally doesn't ask the camera for values of the various settings frequently - it will send setting changes to the camera and refresh the values from the camera at certain points (like changing resolution), but otherwise it trusts the camera to stick with the latest value it has been sent. However, if the camera for some reason has changed the brightness value on its own, SharpCap's display won't update to show the change (and the capture settings file will not show the change).
So... if you see it happen again, try changing the binning/resolution of the camera, which should trigger SharpCap to refresh the settings values, which might just suddenly show a different value for brightness. On the other hand, if it doesn't show a change, that doesn't really prove anything, since maybe the camera changed settings on its own due to some bug, but the ZWO SDK doesn't know that has happened...

Thank you so much for helping me narrow down this problem when yet again it may not be a SC problem.
