SharpCap Forums

I use the Skyris for planetary and a ZWO 178MCcooled for DSO The Skyris fails to load every time in SC, this doesn't happen in NEB4 or FC. I prefer to use Sharp Cap for my planetary imaging. HELP
I run Windows Ult 7 on my observatory system but also use a laptop Win 10 pro with same results.

Hi,

try the 3.2 beta version - 3.1 requires some extra dlls to be installed to talk to Skyris cameras, but I believe I have managed to pack all the required dlls into the SharpCap 3.2 installer.

If that doesn't work, try installing x86 flycapture on your machine (as well as the x64 version)

cheers,

Robin

Sorry to take so long, but had important imaging task and just now got back to the Skyris SC problem. I did as you suggested installed SC 3.2 and the Flycapture SDK complete. Again the camera performs correctly with all my other imaging software including old web cam ware. SC does not see the Skyris 445m as monochrome and will only work in direct show, which has limitations.
Any other ideas before I give up on using SC for my planetary work.

Hi,

assuming that you are getting the same error in the latest version – i.e. a failure when SharpCap tries to start the camera in live mode then there's not much else I can suggest at the moment. It looks like SharpCap has got most of the way through initialising the camera and then failed at pretty much the last step with the error you were seeing of option not available.
unfortunately, fixing this sort of issue tends to be a trial and error affair – I really have no idea what configuration is not quite correct that causes the camera to give her error when started. If I had an actual camera here to test with then I might be able to work out fairly rapidly what the problem was but in the absence of that trying to solve this sort of error tends to be a very long winded task sadly.

Cheers, Robin
