I set it for 30 seconds and it worked perfect. I like the new focus and zoom fields you added too. Thanks!

Ah, I just realized those Zoom/Focus features were new in version 1.1 (Sept 12th) that I forgot to upload a release for.
 
5 times when manual focusing. 4 times when autofocusing with a set zoom level. 1 time when just autofocusing without a set zoom level.

Hi, I installed and ran .exe but get no results with "get current zoom / focus". It just doesnt do anything no error any anything. What am I doing wrong? Its a 5231 z12

Edit: disregard. Im an idiot

Ok, got it installed and working the cams, but the date / prediction is 1/1/0001 at 12:00AM. Does this have to have an internet connection? This is an isolated network I am on with no internet. Thanks, Andrew

It does not need an internet connection. It does need latitude and longitude. I'm not confident that the code for calculating sunrise and sunset works in all parts of the world.

Im in Delaware USA. I had a lat and long in the settings. Any idea why the date is so far off? I dissabled it for now because it was forcing my cams to day profile and its night.

The location you entered is in western China. The USA is all negative longitude values.

Apparently the sunrise calculator code I'm using doesn't like that the entered coordinates and the time zone of the computer are so far apart.

Well I guess that would do it lol. Google listed my position as positive values. I double checked it lol. I just did it on the NASA site and it was negative. Picture to prove im not a liar lol. Ill go back tonight and fix it. Thanks!

Yeah, unfortunately there are a lot of ways of writing latitude and longitude.

Oh the West indication means negative side of prime meridian. Brushed up on my geography today. How about that. Sorry I just dont ever use coordinates in my day to day stuff and have forgotten this stuff lol.

Hi
Is it possible to have your soft also running for linux ?
(Sorry but i don't have programmation skills to make it)
 
Thanks for your reply
do you have any other solution that can be run on linux system ?
 
Just found and set this up today for a few of my cams.....works great ! Thanks BP2008
 
I also wanted to thank @bp2008 for his work and responses. As soon as I entered the negative sign in the coordinates the prediction date and time etc all worked. I guess your theory about the extreme mismatch with the PC was right. Thanks Again.

;) I entered the same coordinates on my own system and stepped through the code in a debugger to figure out why it was failing to find sunrise and sunset times. The code that calculates this stuff is not something I wrote so I had no idea it had that limitation.
