Re: Processing History

Thanks for the feedback.
In the first page of Preprocessing, the buttons "Open" and "Save" do save an entire Preprocessing (files used, options and filters applied). The "Recent" box instead only saves (automatically) and retrieves the files used.
Fabio.

Re: Processing History

There is not a way, unless you meant PreProcessing, which can be saved.

By the way, would you use that to apply the processing to similar images immediately, or to remember the processing for the future (or both, or for other purposes ?)

Greetings,
Fabio.

Re: Serial port script help

Hi, here is an example:

Code: Select all

conn = Serial.Connect(7, 2400)
print "Connection = "; conn
Pause(1)
SetRelay(2, 1)
Pause(1)
SetRelay(2, 0)

sub SetRelay(num, state)
  msg = Chr(254) + Chr(num) + Chr(state)
  Serial.Send(msg)
end sub

Re: Plate solving problems using script

Hello, this may happen because in AA6 also RA and DEC keywords are used for EstimateRaDec, and they have higher priority, so RA is read in degrees but it's expected in H,M,S. You may solve with: ra = Image.GetKey("CRVAL1") / 15 de = Image.GetKey("CRVAL2") print ra,de res = Image.FindCoordinates(ra, ...

Re: Plate solving problems using script

Hello, RA in scripts is always expressed as 0..24, so the RA of andromeda is 0.7 (0 + 42/60) or just (10° / 15). By the way, if the telescope saves the approximate coordinates in the FITS header (OBJCTRA, OBJCTDEC, etc.), there's no need to prepare the coordinates, just use: ra,de = Image.EstimateRa...

Re: Using FF Focus in sequence

OK, I will send you a modified version later this month. Meanwhile you could take the dummy dark frames in binning 2x2 or 3x3 so that they will be smaller and sorting the folder by filesize it will be quick to find and delete them.

Re: Sigma stacking of images before/after meridian flip

Hello Stefan, I downloaded your sequence. It seems to me that the problem is triggered by the option "Copy missing borders". Disabling it your files are processed correctly with Sigma. The function "Copy missing borders" is a cosmetic function which tries to rebuild the "darker borders" caused by th...

Re: Sigma stacking of images before/after meridian flip

Hello Stefan, it seems to me that the result of Sigma is just a single image (maybe it's just the first image) and Preprocessing was aborted during Sigma. Are you using the 64 bit version of Astroart? Rotation + Sigma of 18 big color images (20+ megapixels) may require up to 10 GBytes of extra disk ...

Re: Sigma stacking of images before/after meridian flip

Hello, Sigma (or Average / Sum / Median) is always performed after registration, so if there's a problem with rotation you will see it with or without Sigma. As a test, you could enable one time the option "Create Log file", or "Confirm each image" or even "Save each image" to verify that all images...

Re: Using FF Focus in sequence

The "dummy" line would work (plus another one to return to 3600), but maybe the problem can be solved also setting a step/positions combination which cover both 3600 and 3300. For example, if currently the Step is 50 and Positions are 7, then from 3600 the range covered is 3450-3750. Increasing the ...
