CCD Interface 5.41 - new script features

Post by Forum_2014 »

Hello everybody,
at the Astroart web site: http://www.msb-astroart.com/ it's now available a new interface for camera and telescope control.

Version 5.41 - October 28, 2014
-------------------------------

* Script commands ObjectCoordinates and PlaySound.
* Script source with realtime scrolling during execution.
* Minor bug fixes.

The autoscroll feature is very useful when using long scripts, the current line under execution is now always visible.
The function PlaySound just plays a .wav, it has been used to triggle exposures on a Sony Nex camera.

The function ObjectCoordinates return coordinates of a given deep sky object, in J2000 epoch. If you are working in JNOW please consider the following example:

Code: Select all

ra,de = ObjectCoordinates("NGC 7122")
print ra$(ra), dec$(de)
ra,de = PrecessionJNow(ra,de)
print ra$(ra), dec$(de)
Clear skies,
Fabio and Martino.
