Using virtual serial ports, an external program could easily 'talk' to a script and hence control AA. Instead of a piece of hardware at the other end, a program could be used to send requests, e.g., to load an image, process it and then save it. The virtual serial ports can be setup using a program ...

Hello,
no, you need to set it manually in the "Focus/Guide" page.

Hello,

I have searched the documentation without success - is it possible to set the integration time for the guider camera from within a script (AA v5)?

Hi, some users use a text file on shared folder. The master PC writes a text file which contains the command, for example: fileName = "C:\MySharedFolder\MyFile.txt" SaveText("START", fileName) The slave PCs read/poll it, for example: fileName = "\\MyMasterPC\MySharedFolder\MyFile.txt" <cycle> Pause(...

Hi, Is it possible to design an Astroart script to capture images from three different computers (with an Astroart installation on each one)? I mean: script A: it will control three telescopes (each one on a different computer) script B: it will receive commands from server to capture images compute...

Thank you,
the documentation will be fixed as soon as possible.

Hello Stefan, the 10 micron is controlled by the ASCOM platform, so what can be done depends by its ASCOM driver. I think that the script command "Telescope.Park" would work correctly, try it and see what it does. Maybe there is an option for power off after park. About complete power off, I know th...

Hello, here is a script for taking several images of moving objects, where the telescope must be moved every N images to recenter the object. -- TUTORIAL -- (you can test it indoor using the camera and telescope simulator). 1) Go to an ephemeris service web site, for example the MPC: http://www.mino...
