Hi Fabio, This is great. Is it possible to define a two dimensional array in the scripting language? 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...

I controlled two Canon D1000’s simultaneously with two AA instances a couple of years ago with success.

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...

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.

Hi @pask, Thanks for the formula. That's a clever way to give one single value for an image. I have also been searching for such a formula. I wonder, if it is possible to get the "true" elongation with a script function, perhaps even also the angle? Not just the x and y components. If the elongation...

Hi again Fabio, I am still using my analysis script, most recently on almost 600 images taken over several nights - it would be an almost impossible task to go through all images manually one by one. Here's the output put into an excel sheet, showing the background levels. I use this to quickly dete...

Thanks Fabio. I wasn’t aware of the shörthcuts, that will definetly help. I will look forward to a dark UI though

Hi, Yesterday I was processing an image in Astroart, and when editing the image, I could not see, that there were a subtle gradient on the right side. I think, this is because Astroart is so bright, when viewing the full image. Then my (old) eyes cannot see the gradient in the dark image, it drowns ...

Solves fine now with SP6 - thanks!

Thanks Fabio. I’ll give that a try

I need to be able to select only the best images for stacking in a simple way. For example, I had almost 300 lights from the previous weekend on the same target, and it is a cumbersome task to open and analyse one image at the time in AstroArt. There are some images that I need to discard, mainly du...

I've updated the script a bit. 'Image resolution, seconds per pixel imageRes = 1.2 NStarsToFind = 1000 MAXPeakValue = 32000 folderName = "C:\Users\rbr\Dropbox\Main\astro\2021\0213\LBN777\" fileMask = "*?1?_L.fit" 'print column headers print "File; Filter; UTC; n_stars; FWHM; aspectratio; background;...
