Missing images during Live Stack with dithering

#1

Post by Jean-Francois »

Hello Robin,

I tested yesterday the first time the image dithering during the Live Stack with the 4.2.15217 beta.
It was working with short exposure time (5 to 10 seconds). But it was no more fine with 30 or 60 seconds exposure.
I used "Dither only (no guiding) using ASCOM mount pulse guide".

What I remarked ?

With 60 s exposure and the camera in Force Still image ON.
Start the Live Stack during an exposure of 60s. The image arrived and added in the stack.
The next images were a sequence with one 60 s image added in the stack, one 60 s image not added and several short 2 s exposure during the dithering. The 60 s image was not added and the status mentioned it as "waiting during dithering".

It is annoying to lost the half of the 60 s exposure when SharpCap seems to wait during some dithering.

I tested different settings of the "dithering" parameters, but without success.
Can you give me some parameters values that should work ?

Regards,
Jean-Francois
