SharpCap Forums

I just recently started using the beta version in the past few weeks. Has a lot of very nice new changes. There is one item that seems to be missing that I wish was put back. SharpCap had the ability to stop live stacking and it would save the image. Then you could move on to the next object and start stacking it. The very next time live stacking was started it would show the last image it saved. This was great for EAA when going to a lot of objects during the night. Just before the new objects first stack would come in you could clear the old image out and only have a blank screen for maybe 10 or 20 seconds. As it is now the screen is blank for the entire duration of the new objects first stacked image. So a 3 or 4 minute wait with a blank image is what you get now. Can we get back the option allowing the last image to show when stacking starts again? Having this ability is a great thing for live streaming with people watching. It is a very boring thing for people to have to sit through a blank screen. That old stacking option eliminated that.

Hi,

interesting - the old behaviour was never really something planned, just a side effect of how things worked when resetting the stack (I think). I suspect that some other change around how the stack image is updated has had the side effect of changing this, but I will have to dig bag to old versions and try to work out when this changed and what the cause was before thinking about what can be done here.

cheers,

Robin

A good side affect, how rare. Well I certainly hope you can get that sorted out. It was very nice to have and use.
We the EAA folks thank you kindly for the efforts sir.
