Thanks

With mount, imaging camera, guide camera, focuser and filterwheel, it would be convenient with a "Connect All" button, that connected all devices in one go. All devises that were connected last time

Superbe cliché !!! Comment revenir sur une image au pixel près et recommencer des poses photos ? Bien cordialement I used Google translate, my French is almost non existent: Superb shot !!! How to go back to an image to the nearest pixel and start photo poses again? Best regards I do something simi...

I have been thinking about, how I could get more dynamics in deep sky images with Astroart. Then I thought about the "wavelets" function, as we know from Registax. Wavelets is using fourier transformations to enhance the dynamics in an image. This should also be possible to use on deep sky images? A...

Needle Galaxy, NGC4565, my favorite edge on galaxy. Captured over two nights this weekend. 29 x 480 sec L 28 x 480 sec R 29 x 480 sec G 27 x 480 sec B Total 15 hours and 4 minutes + darks/flats/flatdarks ASI 1600 MM Pro @gain=139 / T=-20°C Sky-Watcher Quattro 8" f/3.9 + Sky-Watcher Aplanatic Correct...

Thanks for the answer Fabio - I increased the dithering dx/dy to 6, because I knew that I needed arround 50 frames. But is it ok to have less dithering positions than the number of frames? And yes, my declination has quite some backlash, but I hoped, that AstroArt and PHD could "talk together" and w...

I tried the dithering feature a couple of month back, and that night, it worked fine, but it was only for a few frames. Last night, we had our first clear nights for months here in Denmark, so I thought, that I would use dithering for the whole session. My setup: Mount: NEQ-6 Pro Telescope: Sky-Watc...

I imagine something like this would do, but how do I save the result in the function createFlats? # Create flats #function createFlats(flatType) rootDir = "C:\1 - ZWO Images\flat\" pre = "#PREPROCESSING" + CRLF flats = FindFiles(rootDir, "flat*" + flatType + ".fit") n = Count(flats) for i = 1 to n p...

Thanks Fabio - and Yes, I will try making a script for the job.
I will share it here.

Another thing in the same area; will it be possible to make the sequence window wider?
It is hard to see the exposuretimes if in milliseconds.

Hi again Fabio, One question, is it possible to create just a master flat with just the flats? Or do AA need darkflats and darks for the process. Does the three goups have any influence on each other? Can I make master flat only, and then flat darks only and then dark only? I have 100 x dark, 25 x L...

Ha Fabio, this was the only FFAF I did.
I have checked the FWHM of stars afterwards, and they were as small as when I did manual focus. So I guess, thatI was lucky. I can detect ca +/- 5 steps when focusing with a bahtinov mask, so I will reduce the step size next time.

Hi again - sorry for the inconvenience, I think I found out my self. I had a look in the AA7 help, there's a section called "Calibration". From what I understand, AstroArt will generate the three master calibration images by following the instructions given here. I will try that out. https://www.dro...
