Latest version (July12th).
When I attempt to run multi-star FWHM focus (initiated with an [In]ward scan), Sharpcap changed my exposure from 4 seconds to .320ms, which coincidentally was my gain of 320 divided by 1000.
Sequence of events:
1) I accidentally installed the 32 bit version and failed immediately once I tried to do anything with an out of memory error.
2) I then downloaded the 64-bit version and installed and launched it to get the camera cooler going again.
3) While the camera was 64-bit Sharpcap was cooling down the camera, I uninstalled the 32-bit version of Sharpcap going through the Windows 10 control panel for uninstalling apps.
4) I ran multi-star FWHM focus via a sequence, and hit the above problem.
5) I ran multi-star FWHM focus directly by hand, changed the focus position to 30 steps out of where I thought focus would be and hit the "In" button to initiate the focus. Same result, with .320 ms as the exposure. I cancelled and SC switched back to 4s exposures automatically. I don't think it did this when I ran it in a sequence...I was a little panicked, so maybe I am misremembering.
6) Thinking I broke something when uninstalling the 32-bit version while the 64-bit version, I quite and ran the 64-bit installer and hit the "Repair" button. Then I reran steps 5 above with the same result.
7) At this point, I had to abandon the current beta and reinstall the previous one. All was well when I tried to focus.
I didn't have all the logging turned on, so it didn't seem to have all the stuff in it that you might need to figure it you can't reproduce it. I have attached it here anyway, just in case it will help. Let me know if you need a more verbose log to diagnose the problem. I can reinstall tomorrow and reproduce it with a better log..

Re: Multi-star FWHM focus seems to be busted
Ooops, I see what is going on. I tried to shortcut some of the closedown code for ZWO cameras to avoid issues with potentially being stuck during closedown and didn't spot the follow on code about a page further down that also needed to be stopped from running... Basically it ended up setting the exposure to minimum on mode changes
Hold on for an hour or so and I will have a fixed version sorted.
cheers,
Robin

Thanks for the quick turn around, definitely fixed. Will be heavily exercising the new beta tonight!
