Problem with ZWOASI533MC-Pro using SharpCap version 4.0.9545
Posted: Mon Apr 17, 2023 9:41 am
Hello
I could really do with some help and guidance with an issue I have encountered running the latest version of SharpCap (Version 4.0.9545), details as follows:
I recently did an updated to SharpCap when it informed me there was a later version available. This update installed fine, no issues being reported. However when I then tried to connect to my ZWO ASI533MC-Pro camera (with the Telescope cap fitted) I saw this:
OMG I thought, my camera is broken but then I realised I had just been using the camera and it was fine! Initial thought then was the was a problem with the update. So I connected to my ASI120MM-S and then to the ASI120MC-S and both of these worked fine, very strange.
So I reinstalled an older version of SharpCap (Version 4.0.8973) that I had on my PC, again installed fine, no errors reported. Started SharpCap and connected to the ASI533, it works fine! I saw this displayed (as I would expect with the Telescope cap fitted, i.e. as for doing a Dark):
So at this point I am really confused as to what has happened, I should say that I don't think this is an actual SharpCap "bug" (as my other cameras work) but something appears to have gone wrong.
So, has anyone else seen this sort of issue or encountered a similar problem?
Really need some help...
