Reading some central pixels to establish exposure for flats in a script

Post by Forum_2015 »

Hi,

I am trying to read a few central pixels in an fits image (mine is 32bit) does not seem to be a way to do this in a script so I have tried using fits.dll externally. However, this only reads 16bit image files!!
Is there a way to do this that I am missing?
Tried to convert the 32bit image to 16bit in AA5 script but no way?

Anyone know a way to do this or an external tool I can invoke from an AA5 script to measure an average pixel value to set exposure time.

Regards,

John

Hi,
at the moment there are no script commands for that, but they will be added to the next Camera Interface, in 1-2 months.
The task could be done now with the Astroart Remote Control SDK.
