Bug in using API for Capturing Image
Not all drivers support high speed mode. At one point it was disabled. Have you tried binning? It speeds up download times significantly as well.

Have you guys considered just adding an external focuser/stepper? Ultimately we all know the limitations of a SCT for imaging. Instead of wasting resources trying to get software to model something...

Make sure you use the gain that you're using for imaging. Otherwise it's hard to subtract out what you're trying to remove from the image.

Newbie question- Flats & ZWOASI1600MM Cooled
As mads said make sure you use whatever gain/offset for your flats as you do for imaging. It's not AS important with flats as it is with darks and bias but it can make a difference how the data is...

This is currently a known bug that we need to address in SGP. Thanks,Jared

For more samples, I loaded up the beta SGP and ran the same experiments ... one light with the SSAG, two lights with the C8300 ... same results as before, hope this give more insight! Thanks again!...

I agree there isn't much point in adding elaborate code to focus a system that is not repeatable, but at the same time there is a known issue with the current autofocus routine that could be a problem...

So far I use Highspeed for focusing. There is definitive a difference you can experience in download time. So highspeed is working with the camera and SGPRo, but not through the API. It's like the...

If the primary focusing did not seem optimal - make sure you were doing the autofocus as I describe above: The focus curve should be taken in the counter-clockwise direction, and there should be at...

Celestron mounts have a known issue that the slew does not land exactly where intended. The sync is fine and the mount is capable of very accurate centering with plate solving and no synching, but I...

Newbie question- Flats & ZWOASI1600MM Cooled
Thanks for your comments/suggestions Mads/Jared, Since it was raining today, I tried a few different settings. The best that seemed to work well was: High Dynamic Range (Gain 0; Offset 50); first...

I found when I was starting that often I was beating my head against a wall when it came to certain systems. Focusing a primary mirror definitely seems like one of them based on the number of...

Michel, Just a guess, but I don't think the API has received the polish the rest of the software has. Very few people use it compared to the GUI. Maybe a feature request?

Scts have no particular needs compared to other systems. They have a preferred direction to final focus and they require backlash compensation - just like most any system. There are multiple settings...
