+Graham Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Well after all the grief I have been getting with capture software and the QHY 5ll I bit the bullet and scrapped all of them. I then loaded up Sharpcap 2.5 and the dot net thingy to make it work. After all that I just had to try it out. Taken with the 10 inch Meade Antaries 5x Barlow QHY 5 ll I could only manage to grab 166 frames between the clouds but hey ho it was only a test. I have still to mount my motorised focuser on the Meade so focus was achieved by going out into the obs tweaking the focuser going back into the control room to look then back for another tweak ----- well you get the idea It was nearly in focus Just got to get to grips with the controls in Sharpcap and I might just start to get somewhere. +Ibbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyboy1970 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Looking good. I went back to Sharpcap2 as firecapture was really slow with my Asi120mc camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyaardvark Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Not tried sharpcap yet but have been having a play with EZplanetary that came with the QHY. Was reasonably happy with it. Slow frame rate though. I will try at sharpcap2... forgot I had it installed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Nice one Graham, manual focus is frustrating isn't it?! My Motofocus should arrive in the next week, I cannot wait for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 It shows promise there Graham, once you get it sorted, that's a nice sized image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
