great thank you 🙂

Maybe you manage to make a functional version. ASIcap still drops frames also in this one.

ASIStudio is buggy. In fact it will not load up when I try to go into ASILive. It hangs up forever. I have to soft reboot the computer to clear it out. In effect, nothing works. I have reinstalled an early version of ASIStudio and now it works fine.

cosmosteve Hi, what is your platform? You could only open ASIStudio but ASILive can't pop up when you click it? Is my description correct?Thanks.

Installed on Linux Mint 19.3 without any problems.
Recognises my ZWO ASI120MC-S and image capture is working in all 3 components although only preliminary testing so far.
Thanks.

What is the procedure to install this file on linux variant?

ylac11 Hi, ylac11! We didn't test it on Raspberry Pi, so it might not work. Of course, we will consider your needs seriously. Thank you so much.

I have to say I'm satisfied with the last version (1.3.2), it doesn't drop frames anymore. At least with ASICap, I never tested the other two apps in the suite (ASIImg and ASILive).
On ASICap, can you make some improvements? Such as:

the possibility of choice of the video container (avi, ser etc.)
the possibility of choice of image format (fit, png, tif, jpg etc.)

ursamajor Hi, ursamajor! Thank you so much for your suggestion. These suggestions are very important for us. We will make these improvements in future.

I have an ASI533MC and I'm running MacOS Big Sur 11.1 on a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019). Every Time I startup ASICap and connect to the camera I get the error message "The camera is disconnect, please try to reconnect". Can you give me any help on what the problem is

ASIStudio@ZWO

Fearless8328 Hi, Fearless8328! Please confirm whether there is a problem with the USB cable, whether the connection is loose and whether a broken USB Hub is used. Thanks a lot!

@software@zwo#42386 Is there a way I can get older software to work on my Mac 10.10?

ASIStudio@ZWO

haloterry1 Hi, haloterry1! Please be considerate of our work, we will put a lot of effort into adapting to 10.10. We advise you to upgrade your Mac version to 10.12 and later. Thanks a lot!

Hi yesterday I've tested my new ASI178 mc with ASIStudio and I've the following questions:

the Gain can be set only to Low ( 0 gain ) and High ( 270) : I think 0 gain could be a mistake and Middle is missing
Live stacking works only if you unmark "frames alignment"even if guiding!

ASIStudio@ZWO

giancarlo Hi, giancarlo!
① In ASIStudio, "Low" gain equals to "highest dynamic range" gain in ASCOM, "Middle" equals to "unity gain", and "High" equals to "lowest read noise". If the "highest dynamic range" is equal to the "unity gain", there is no "Unity Gain" in ASCOM, so there is no "Middle" in ASIStudio.
② Please confirm that the star is big, distinct enough and the quantity is enough. You can adjust the Exp, Gain, focusing to try the live stacking function. If the problem still exists, you can save several fits images and
send them to us. Our email: support@zwoptical.com
Thanks a lot.

In ASILive it is possible to calibrate each frame but there is NO TOOL to create Master Bias, Master Dark or Master Flat!
Could you implement such a tool!?
Thanks

haloterry1

Is there any documentation on using ASIStudio?

ASIStudio@ZWO

haloterry1 Hi, haloterry1! The manual is coming soon. Thank you so much.

ursamajor

No. Just your intuition.

fyi. after installing the updated software, when I clicked "help document" under "?" for the ASI462, it crashed my Adobe reader such that it would not open any pdf files. I had to go through a long process of diagnosis and resets to get it working again. I went through at least two cycles of uninstalling and reinstalling the new soft ware and the same thin happened each time. I ran the same routine two time on a second computer and got the exact same result. It would seem that your new software is the source. I had used the "help document" successfully many times before the "upgrade".

qutub Hi, qutub! We are sorry for the inconvenience. You can try another pdf reader software or open the help document in the path where ASIStudio was installed directly.
