Coordinate info stops updating/ responding

#1

Post by john_robertson1953 »

Hi Robin,

Lately, last few weeks, ive noticed coordinate info, top right, stops updating/freezes. It’s happened 2-3 times during last 2 weeks. The only way I’ve found to start it again is to close & reopen program.

If there’s further input u need, let me know.

Hi John,

if this is the mount co-ordinate readout (RA/Dec, etc) then this can happen if the mount ASCOM driver stops responding to requsts. Sometimes there can be a temporary glitch that is enough to stop this from happening. Please try using SharpCap 4.1 (https://www.sharpcap.co.uk/sharpcap/sha ... p-4-1-beta) as that has better recovery from this sort of situation that ought to recover without you noticing in most situations if the hardware glitch clears.

cheers,

Robin
