yes, context menu of the multiblink, then "Copy annotations".
Annotations with date/time will be updated in real-time on every frame. Just place the annotation of the first frame of the sequence.
See also in the help: "Blink".

Hi, it's possible with the Remote Control SDK, but it's more complicated.
OK, launching the script by command line has been added today, to receive now the prerelease of the SP4 just write me by email or PM.
Fabio.

Hello, via script it's possible, for example: side = "?" ' .... ' initialization ' ..... ' before an exposure: if Telescope.PierSide <> side then side = Telescope.PierSide Camera.FullFrameAutofocus(...) Telescope.AutoCenter(...) end if however, since you cited the option "Plate solve and center tele...

Hi, before using Demosaic in Preprocessing for the very first time, it's recommended to do a "manual" Demosaic, so that the option about the pattern (GRGB etc.) of your camera is saved. In Astroart the option is not called "GRGB" or "GBGR", it's simply one of the four patterns. However, it's possibl...

- is this the right workflow?, I mean first preprocessing + applying filters and then add Ha? - How did you find the 0.138 in the example? 1) Yes, HA is inserted after preprocessing and filtering (gradient removal only). 2) The 0.138 was found visually: Enable the "lock" preview, then using the mou...

Hi, the simplest method is to move the mask (CTRL + arrows keys, or tha Mask window), then to enlarge/shrink the mask with the commands "Mask/erosion and dilation" The Formula method is more difficult, by the way formulas are just one row, so: if((x-1638)^2+(y-1550)^2 < 1340^2, 1, 0) A cleaner metho...

yes, the instruction is the classic: cls

I see that it's not documented by the way, this will be fixed in SP4.
Meanwhile, here is some info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLS_(command)

Hello, a new version of the free FITS viewer based on Astroart is available:

Clear skies,

Hi, the "One star" method require to set a Radius which must be higher than the expected shift between the images.
Maybe you can solve increasing it to 200 .. 1000.
Fabio.

Hello, maybe this could improve the process:
1) before Erosion consider softening the mask ("Smooth" button).
2) sometimes Deconvolution works better after DDP, so as step "3" instead of "1".
Fabio.

... Am I correct thinking the sequence (at startup) is as follows: 1. use telescope goto to go to a position 2. use camera control to make an image 3. use tools/plate solve to solve 4. got back to telescope and sync 5. use exposure+center to really find the required star For a telescope which does ...

Hello, maybe the command you needed at the start of the session was Sync, not Center: Click "Sync..." then "Last image": Sync.jpg The Centering Window uses the current approximate coordinates of the telescope, so it will now work at the beginning of a session when they are not set at all. The tolera...
