Dear All

Is it possible to reduce the red star borders?

Best Regards

I am red with embarrassment: this time I copied your little script from the webpage to a text file. It worked perfectly. So a big thanks. !! I'll check out aa7 as well. cjacobson

I copied it from the forum and then typed into my text editor and doubly reviewed it which I will do again as you say it runs. As of earlier this week while imaging I noted a rather reasonable pause using AA6 and Phd2 even without this script in a non hyperstar setup. I first became concerned when I...

Sorry but do you really need a script to so simple imaging task ? And so that dithering works with a pause ?
You could do just with normal AA imaging procedure and let it take care of dithering.
Besides now that AA7 has some sequencing properties.
But if it's just scripting exercise I understand.

Did you copy and past it from the forum into the script window? If not you may have typed it in with an error! I ran it with the camera simulator in AA7 and AA6 and it works fine. What ver. are you using?

I tried you little script. It fails on line 4. I have no idea why. It's a formatting issue I think. I tried fiddling with this, but have not worked out something that will work. Now I will be going to the library hoping to find some old books of basic. Two nights ago while imaging I noted a greater ...

I do that just for the output format, it places a space between the image name and sequence #. Without them the image would be titled M20003.fit instead of M20 003.fit

Iver; thanks I'll give it a try to night or tomorrow and report back by
Friday.
A question of ignorance: what do the quotation marks do? what is supposed to appear between the two quotes : filename=image+" "?

Give this a try, I don't code either!

for i = 1 to 5
dir = "c:\Temp\"
image = "M20"
fileName = image + " " + Format (i,"000")+ ".fit"
camera.start(10)
camera.wait
Image.Save (dir + fileName)
Pause(10)
next i


Iver

I have tried to make a script to get the camera to pause a bit while phd resets; the following works to allow a 10 second pause but will not save images to my directory; I am not a programmer by any means; dir$="c:\Temp\" imag$="m20" for i=1 to 5 camera.start(10) camera.wait Image.save("c:\autosave\...

Does anyone know of a source that, in depth, describes the AA script commands? The AA7 manual lists many commands that I don't know how to use.

I found this: http://sintiniobservatory.interfree.it/ ... ns_ing.pdf
But this is from AA4 and a lot of commands has since been added.

Thanks Fabio,

That worked well.
