Post processing light images with calibration frames

#1

Post by martinrw »

I took lights a few nights ago and I took new calibration frames last night. Can SharpCap read the lights and new calibration frames now and process my lights? Need Help

Hi Martin

Yes, you can use the Folder Monitor Camera for that under the the Camera menu tab.
It's a so called Virtual Camera, see also https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.0/#Virtual%20Cameras
When you have that and then choose the calibration files in the Preprocessing part, you can either use that with Live Stacking or with individual capture saves. Essentially it works the same as a live session but now all your lights are already saved.
