Read data from SQM-LU device
Hi newbie here so gentle please. I have Astroart 6 with SP2 and using Camera Control 6 and 6.2 beta. I am on a steep learning curve with my newly aquired telescopes/mounts etc. As an aside (I used to work in Automation/MES in the pharmaceutical industry as a software developer - now retired) I thoug...

Re: Detecting daytime and nighttime
> when it's 15 degrees below the horizon then it's surely night.
Nope!
18 degrees below is the official start of astronomical darkness.
Civil, Nautical and Astronomical twilight are each 6 degrees, hence astronautical night starts at -18 degrees.

Detecting daytime and nighttime
Hello, I've been asked the simplest way to detect daytime and nighttime, for automatic research scripts. Instead of looking at the current time, I think that it's better to check the altitude of the sun: when it's 15 degrees below the horizon then it's surely night. A possible implementation would b...

Re: Simple script for taking LRGB
For example:
fileName = object + filter + Format(i,"000") + "_" + str(exposure) + "_B" + str(binning) + ".fit"
fileName = object + filter + Format(i,"000") + "_" + str(exposure) + "_B" + str(binning) + ".fit"

Re: Simple script for taking LRGB
Tried this last night.
How do I add binning and exposure in file name + "-" or "_" as well ?

Simple script for taking LRGB
Hello, I have been asked the simplest script to take L,R,G,B images, where the L is in binning 1x1 and the others in 2x2. Here is a solution which takes 3 red, 3 green, 3 blu in binning 2x2, then 6 lum in binning 1x1. It can be tested indoor with the camera and filter wheel simulators. Remember to c...

Re: SP3 Star detector
Ok the answer is to Bin2X2 as the error only doubles but the point is still reasonable. Example: JulianDate Filter VarAbsMag VarAbsErr ExpLen CmpStar RefMag CmpStar RefMag CmpStar RefMag 2458056.327578 V 13.6350 0.0170 100.0 121 12.084 132 13.167 129 12.865 2458056.328919 V 13.4650 0.0143 100.0 121 ...

Re: SP3 Star detector
Hi John, it's faster for me to patch that script command so that it finds the same stars of the other commands of AA. Indeed the problem was stars with two peaks. The correction is ready yet, it will be included in the next release. For a prerelease just write me by email.

Re: SP3 Star detector
Fabio, I am sure nothing has changed in star detection SP2 to SP3. I have recently been trying to improve the accuracy and reliability of measurement of my system. When doing 100 measurements of UU AQR using 3 ref and 1 check star as the star dimmed and sometimes when atmosphere made star shimmer by...

Re: SP3 Star detector
Hi John, nothing have changed between SP3 and SP2 in star detection. Stars with noise and multiple peaks may not be detected by that script command, although they are detected by "Find stars" and the other commands of Astroart. Only a patched version of that script command could solve the problem. F...

SP3 Star detector
Hi Fabio, I think the 'star detection' parameters in the 'preferences' do not seem to be applied immediately (you have to reload AA6). This may be OK as normally the preferences are only set once and left. I just happened to be trying to tune 'star detection'. Another issue with 'star detection' is ...

Re: Working on script to count stars in an image
Hi, the attach in the last message cannot be opened, by the way here is a working example:
Code: Select all
if ContinueOn("Test") then
print "OK Continue"
else
print "Let's stop"
end if
sub ContinueOn(ShowInfo)
r = InputButton("Carry On ? " + ShowInfo, "Yes", "No")
return r = "Yes"
end sub
