SharpCap Forums

I am attempting Sensor Analysis... I get the 10 crosses in a straight line and then it asks me to cover the sensor. So I put my cap on the telescope, but then nothing happens. It just states "waiting" and it never goes off this. PROCEED never gets dark, so I cannot click on it. Any idea as to what is going wrong or what I should be doing? After 30 minutes of waiting, I hit cancel which meant I would need to start over.

Hi,

The programme is waiting for the image to go dark at that point – by dark it means that the average pixel value must be less than half of the maximum pixel value. It's possible that some camera settings like a brightness/offset/black level setting may be preventing the image from going dark enough to trigger the button to proceed to the next step.

Hope this helps, Robin
