Hi all !
Sharpcap is fantastic ! But... I would like to change the slew rate in right menu (mount control) to obtain x8 and not x4...
Is that possible please ?
Thanks in advance :D

Hi,

I think you might be using quite an old version of SharpCap - the code used to ignore the 8x rate, but I fixed that in about October 2021. I would suggest visiting the downloads page and grabbing the latest version - https://www.sharpcap.co.uk/sharpcap/downloads

cheers,

Robin

Thanks Robin !!
I have a doubt, and try tonight... but I think my software is recent. I use Skywatcher ascom driver : could it have a problem with the menu ? Could I change a slew rate in the menu myself ?
Thanks for help :)

I bought (and download) the Pro version since 2021 May.

Hi,

yes, the older versions like SharpCap 3.2 would have the 8x speed missing, since they date from before the change. Lots of good new things in 4.0 and even more coming soon in 4.1 :)

cheers,

Robin
