It’s perhaps “cheating” ;-)

Re: Astroart 8

And the stacking is extremely fast.
Here 79 images from a ASI1600MM, aligned, rotated, calibrated and Sigma+Sum stacked in ca 33 seconds !!!

Re: Astroart 8

Yes - what a great update and a lot of very cool new features. I have been testing AA8 now for some weeks, and I know that Fabio has been working really hard on this update. Good job Fabio!!!!

Thanks. I checked the help menu, and found nothing. I now realize that I hadn't installed SP6 yet... :)

Re: Script commands for domes

From the help: Dome functions Dome.Connect Dome.Disconnect Dome.Connected These functions are intended for connection with the ASCOM hubs, for example "POTH" or "DeviceHub", where the movement of the dome is controlled by ASCOM. Your scripts will just open or close the window, or park the dome. Exam...

Re: Feature request: scale bar on images

Hi Bernd - I would also like to have this available somehow. Perhaps as an extra annotation type, that You can place anywhere in the image, and that automatically add/remove tickmarks depending on it's size.

I've tried: dim(640,480) dim(640;480) dim(640:480) dim(640)(480) (...and many more), but with no luck. I need to store the image bits in an array in order to subtract one image from another in a scri...

Re: autofocusing noobie q

I do not usually autofocus for every image, but perhaps every 5 to 6. AutoFocus takes arround 30 seconds on my setup, so doing it every 120 sec image, would "waste" 25% observation time. Doing it every 6'th image, only 4% observation time is lost for focusing. I always let Astroart save focus pos an...

Re: Trying to quantify seeing/image-quality

Pascale,

If the star is elongated at an angle of 45°, 135°, 225° or 315°, then |sin alpha|=|cos alpha| and Astroart's x and y components are equal.
