Once you have selected, the Mallincam Directshow Driver, SharpCap will display
what the SkyRaider is imaging.
The controls on the right of the screen (
Exposure, Gain, Gamma, …)
allow you to
change the settings of the SkyRaider.
It takes a bit of practice to become familiar with the settings as these are more
generic controls, the majority of the controls have their own scales (the exposure
does not indicate seconds, but has an equivalent range from 0 seconds to 5
seconds). You will need to record those numbers to assist you.
SharpCap recognizes that the DS10CTEC does have an
extended mode
for
exposures that are over 5 seconds.
To turn on the
extended mode
(over 5 seconds), then enable the
LX Mode
in the
Options Tab
on the Top of the screen. This lets the exposure slider now provide
exposures over 5 seconds (even though you don’t actually see the time on the
slider).
Disable LX mode
to return to the 5 second max exposure
Sharpcap will display the exposure you have set on the bottom of the SharpCap
window after the first exposure is taken.
SharpCap has the ability to Pop-Up the SkyRaider
Video Filter
(DirectShow
control window).
Click
on the
Show Button
in the
Video Capture Control
The Pop-Up Window gives you some familiarity with settings as it provides you
with more comfortable units (exposure time in ms).
