SharpCap Forums

Hey Robin,

I think I might have found a small bug. In the Filename Templates for Live Stack (Processed) Settings, I have it set to report the BlackLevel. Example shown below:

{TargetName}\{Date:S}\{Time}\processed\{TargetName}_{Date:S}_T[{Time}]_F{StackedFrames}_E{SubExposure}_TE{TotalExposure}_{Filter}_G{Gain}_O{BlackLevel}_T{Temperature}

Tonight, I noticed that the BlackLevel was missing from the filename. Example shown below:

NGC4535 (McLeish's Object)_2025-03-21_T[21_45_39]_F30_E30.0s_TE900s_L_G250_O_T-10.0

I looked back through my old observations and the last time the BlackLevel was recorded in one of my filenames was on 10/3/24 using 4.1.12606.0. The next time I used SharpCap was on 10/27/24 using 4.1.12693.0 and the BlackLevel started to not be reported.

Hope this information helps you narrow down what happened.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Oh, and the camera is a ASI533MC-Pro with the BlackLevel set to 10.

Hi,

thanks for reporting - looks like there were two different places where the black level data for the frame could be stored (unintentionally). The code on the camera side was putting the value in one of the two, the code on the filename side was looking in the other and finding no data

I will fix for the next update.

cheers,

Robin
