Flickering/Ramping day time exposure #318

Closed Jarrod191 closed 2 years ago

Jarrod191 commented 3 years ago

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for your wonderful work.

I wonder if you have managed to resolve the issue of the flickering exposures during the day time. I saw one thread where the ZWO library was replaced with an older one... but this didn't seem to help

Is this still the approach to this problem?

Regards,

Jarrod

Jarrod191, A few of us are working on enhancements to allsky which include working around ZWO's bug with daytime exposures jumping all over the place - too dark, then fine, then too light, then too dark, etc. ZWO is aware of the bug and it's on their "to do" list, but we'll likely come out with our workaround before they fix the problem.

Thanks Jarrod,

It was fun making the updates with Linda and Jim and I am glad when other people find them useful.

What are your USB settings and what camera do you have?  Several people have had problems with the default of 40 and manual setting.
