Hello,
it would be very helpfull for planetary imaging to scan only a part of the imager. That would reduce the avi size and makes it easier to use the files in registax for example. Bert

Re: ROI
Hi Bert,
you can do this already for most cameras - see http://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/2.9/#!2!Capt ... and%20Area and look at the 'Capture Area' and 'ROI Position' controls. Doing this usually improves the frame rate too.
cheers,
Robin

Re: ROI
Some webcams do support this in a rather roundabout way. For instance with the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema (and maybe other Microsoft cameras) you select a smaller capture area and then turn up the Zoom all the way to maximum and you get an ROI. This is a built in feature of the camera.
Unfortunately these cameras don't report the correct range for the pan/tilt controls that allow you to move the selected area around, so adjusting the position can be fiddly.
