Hello Robin

Thank you for your effort to help me.

I use Sharpcap in 2 observatories on 2 different camera computers under Win11 and have also tried it on a 3rd computer under Win10. No other software runs on the camera computers, except ASTAP. No antivirus active because the camera computers are offline. Other text entries in sharpcap are possible without any problems (e.g. camera settings).

Hello Robin

Maybe I have now found the error in Sharpcap myself: If I select the simulator mount under the hardware tab in the Sharpcap settings, then the Ra-Dec input field in the push-to window allows entries.

However, I don't use Ascom, so it should be possible to enter Ra-Dec in the Sharpcap settings without assigning a mount.

I hope I helped you with this

best regards
Joseph Serenus

P.S.
Nevertheless, in my opinion it would be very useful to be able to initiate cyclic plate solving without using the Push to window and to be able to retrieve the result in a text file for external use, as I suggested in another post.

Hi,

OK, I see the same - thanks for spotting that! I don't quite understand why yet, but now I can debug it.

cheers,

Robin
