mnico, I have used the table of reference stars to measure the variables in my list. I assume I could just collect each star in its own folder each night and then generate the light curve at the end of the month. I will give that a try with the target and Reference star txt file. But will that file ...

Do you know how it is easy to make batch photometry with Astroart? See this tutorial (with video) on how to plot an exoplanet transit.

Latest unofficial manual for 5.43 is on the Yahoo download site. Https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/AA5ObsMgr/files this includes the tested functions for sizes of FindCoordinates up to 10. However, it becomes a trade of between speed, false positives and RA DEC error. I would say that I have tested scope...

Where can I get this updated manual for version 5.43c?

Thanks!

However, New 5.43c version does have variable search size!!
Great feature.

All the best,

Thanks Fabio.

Hello, it uses all the saved parameters except the region size, which is fixed ad 2x2 degrees. This size is a compromise, it's big enough for centering most telescopes, but it's not so big to increase the chance of false positives. By the way, the next Camera Panel will support an extended syntax to...

Hello, A question about "hidden" parameters for Image.FindCoordinates. Image.FindCoordinates appears to use some, but not all, of the parameters saved in the Find coordinates GUI (i.e. in tools menu). For example, I assume that Image.FindCoordinates does make use of the current saved horizontal fiel...

Not in the next 6 months, but supporting them only in scripts and/or with a very limited user interface, could make the thing possible.

Thanks for the reply, any chance of this in the future?

I will have a play with multiple instances and see how I get on.

I know this is an option it would be cleaner to use one instance and I'd prefer to use one script so I could sync the exposures with the dithering. If a duplicate of the camera object was created called "camera2" it would work and avoid any regression impacts.

Hi, you can always run a second instance of AstroArt for your second imaging camera.
