AA8 with the Sky X

I'm doing my best at trying to use a paramount MEII controlled by AA8 via The Sky X. I have The correct ASCOM Sky for telescope control where I have deactivated synchronise. What I would like to know is the correct settings for TSX and start up procedure. I start up AA with the control settings such...

Re: calibration (dark,Flat & Bias

Fabio & Alessandro, I've disabled the save, but still getting the P. I suspect I have a misunderstanding in general with respect to applying darks and flats to raw images and saving them under AA8. seems to be a bit esoteric. Besides applying them to clean up the image I also need to get it correctl...

Re: calibration (dark,Flat & Bias

Hi I'm using the preprocessing tab of AA8 to apply darks to a set of images. The application would seem to add a P to the resultant images. How am I able to apply dark and or flat with the processed image not changing its file name. The resulting file will be compared to master files, hence file nam...

Re: calibration (dark,Flat & Bias

Good day Fabio, I shall read through your comments and try them out. I have also had a friend give me some advice on creating darks etc and applying them and also how to create a master. No I meant to calibrate single images. I'm not an imager so don't usually do pretty pictures. I need individual i...

Re: calibration (dark,Flat & Bias

Fabio, I have now additionally done the flat field (inc the dark flats) correction and have a single corrected displayed. So i guess I now save this image. Which again I guess would be the 11 stacked corrected image. ? Suppose I wanted to calibrate the the II images individually. I suppose this coul...

Re: calibration (dark,Flat & Bias

Fabio,

I have successfully followed these instructions and have the single image with noise much reduced, but the flat faults showing. What would be the next steps?

Cheers, Eric

calibration (dark,Flat & Bias

I'm new to Astroart8. My familiarity with similar software is MaxIm Ver 6.14 and the sky X with which I've found calibration of images fairly simple. 1. Can I create master darks, flats etc that I could load and use for calibration instead of load say the 20 + images taken for each (akin to MaxIM) 2...

saving directly keyed instructions as short scripts

I have been reading through some of the messages on scripts and I recall reading that regular processes or commands keyed in could be saved as scripts and used. The impression I got that directly keying in manually processes could be directly saved rather than actually write a script. Am I correct i...
