SharpCap stops responding when switching livestacking target
Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2024 12:04 am
SharpCap 4.1.11680 64 bit
Beelink Mini PC i5-8259U cpu, Windows 11
Celestron Evolution mount, CPWI 2.5.5
ASI294MC Pro camera
To switch targets, I select 'Pause', then press 'Clear'. SharpCap then usually goes into a 'not responding' state. After some time, Windows displays a menu stating that SharpCap is not responding with the options, 'Wait', 'Terminate SharpCap', or "Submit a Report'. Occasionally SharpCap recovers after some time and is ready for operation again but frequently it must be terminated and restarted. SharpCap 4.0 shows the same behavior.
What is the recommended procedure for switching targets when doing live stacking? From another post it sounds like clearing the live stack is done by default when pausing the live stacking. Is the stacked image automatically saved and cleared when pausing the live stack? It also sounds like terminating live stacking may be necessary and possibly safer when switching targets. Is there a risk of losing the stacked image when terminating live stacking?
A log is attached which I believe contains a 'SharpCap not responding' event.
