Re: Autoguiding to exact Camera.StartAutoguide(r,x,y) position
Hello Paolo Yes, this is exactly this kind of workaround I have been looking for. Thanks a lot :-) In principle, this solution should have been obvious. Confusingly I did'nt see it. I tried your suggestion in a "dry run" and so far it seems to work without problems. Well, I have already been working...

Re: Autoguiding to exact Camera.StartAutoguide(r,x,y) position
Interesting... I have to ask - why take a reference frame between each sub? I usually only do it at the beginning and end of the run. I don't use scripts (maybe I should!) so I manually re-set the slit guiding when I use the reference flip mirror.... What I think Paulo is saying and I'm thinking is ...

Re: Autoguiding to exact Camera.StartAutoguide(r,x,y) position
Hi Sebastian, I suggest you to use the command "Telescope.Disconnect" instead of "Camera.StopAutoguide()". The effect is that of pressing "Connected" button on the guide window, so the reference for the guiding point remain unchanged. After taking the calibration lamp frame you have to send the comm...

Autoguiding to exact Camera.StartAutoguide(r,x,y) position
Hello For high-resolution spectroscopy I am autocalibrating every 10 minutes with an (astroart script controlled) Thorium-Argon lamp and a flip mirror. This flip mirror - which has to be activated during calibration - blocks the complete field of view including the guiding image. Therefore I stop au...

Re: Automated pictures using scripting gives different results than manual pictures
The script has several bugs, here is an improved version: dir$ = "C:\Temp" for timeExp = 1 to 10 for timeMul = 1 to 10 for i = 1 to 4 expo = timeMul * Exp(-1*timeExp) Print "Taking a picture with an exposure of "; expo Camera.Start(expo) Camera.Wait fileName$ = Str(i) + "_" + Str(expo) + ".fit" Imag...

Re: Automated pictures using scripting gives different results than manual pictures
Are you sure your formula is okay?
If I put it in Google calculator I get 0.00045399929 s exposure (assuming time and timebase are 10)
And what are you trying to achieve

Automated pictures using scripting gives different results than manual pictures
I am taking a series of pictures at different exposures. The code can be found below. The images I am obtaining are wildly different than the one taken manually. They are incredibly noisy and are not representative of the image being taken. dir$ = "C:\Users\Desktop" for timebase = 1 to 10 for time =...

Re: Scripted Image Processing
Each one of the 4 macros can be called from a script.
Image.Macro(n)
Launches one of the four Macros defined in Astroart.

Scripted Image Processing
Hi All, Is there anyway to script an image processing 'task' - something along the lines of Image.Process("DDP",a,b,c). I acknowledge that there are many image processing commands available, with a wide variety of parameters. However, it would be useful to be able to automatically script a series of...
