Using the mechanical shutter with Moravian G5

[albusmw]

Hi,

I am using a Moravian C5A-150M which has a mechanical shutter to capture darks.
Up to now I did not find a possibilify to activate the shutter in SharpCap, in the API (as I also do my own capture software just for me) this is just one parameter which must be 0 or 1.
Is there a function I do not find to use it in SharpCap, and if there isn't are there plans to include this functionality?

Best regards Martin.

Hi Martin,

there's no support at the moment for leaving the shutter closed, but I guess I could have a control on the right hand side to allow the user to choose whether to open the shutter or not...

'Open Shutter' : Yes/No

or something similar to that? Would you be happy to test if I add that functionality (I don't have a Moravian camera with a shutter - in fact I don't have any astro cameras with a shutter )

cheers,

Robin

Hi Robin, thanks for your fast reply, and sorry for my delay, I did not switch on the notifications on the forum.
Yes, I would be happy to test it, as it is only a boolean parameter in the call it should be easy to add.
And as software engineer for 30 years, I am also an experianced tester
Cheers and best regards Martin.
