SharpCap Pro Manual: Getting the Most Out of It

I've been using SharpCap for a long time, and it was time to upgrade to SharpCap Pro. I have the license, but I don't know how to properly use many of its features or how to configure it to get the most out of it. I know SharpCap Pro lets me stack comets in real time, but I don't know how to do it or how to activate it. A manual with screenshots explaining each function—deep-sky stacking, comet stacking, planetary stacking, etc.—would be very helpful. There's no point having SharpCap Pro if I don't know how to use it correctly. Therefore, I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with a well-explained manual with screenshots of SharpCap Pro for each function. I'm completely lost with this change, and since I have SharpCap Pro, I want to make the most of it.

I've already found the SharpCap manual that I think will work for SharpCap Pro, and I've been able to translate it into Spanish. Let's see if it's useful.
Regards.

Hi,

yes, the full manual for SharpCap 4.1 is here - https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/ - this includes both the 'Pro' and 'Free' features and in general highlights which are pro and which are free in the text.

Note that this was last updated when SharpCap 4.1 was first released, so it is missing details of improvements since the first release of SharpCap 4.1 - information about those can usually be found here in the forums. The first place to look is the 'What's New' sub forum (viewforum.php?f=41) which has threads about most of the major new features added recently. If you look in the main at my posts you will find overviews, feature descriptions, etc.

cheers,

Robin

Hi;

Do I need to use SharpCap's Plate Solvin for this to work?
I'm currently using the one from Astap.
