Do I need a delay if using still mode? Hi mace, You're correct, still mode does not need the delays. However, my understanding is that still mode has a much lower rate of capture, so you'll end up with far fewer frames vs using video mode. FYI - The Sequence Generator doesn't produce any still capt...

Just checking the ordering. Should the Delay be before the capture? or after it? Is the delay to get the exposure set? or to account for the capture time and save? Would the delay need to be after the capture command? Hi mace, Thanks for your questions. * The delay is between any settings change an...

Thank you and appreciate all the work! I was testing the powershell script. Noted that the times needed to be in 24 hour format for my system (Win11 fresh install). Also, for the command line I had to use a "1" for notifications; command line had issues with $true for some reason Testing ...

Hi all, A BIG update to the Sequence Creator -- it now has an optional PowerShell companion script that 'speaks' and pops up notifications during key events. Think of it like the 'Solar Eclipse Timer' Android/iOS app that runs on the computer along side the sequence! It is optional, you can set 'Use...

FYI - I removed the last update ( i.e. I removed the pop-up dialog )... I was reminded that WIndows 'Home' versions do not include the `msg.exe` file that Pro versions do, and thus, the new script would error out when attempting to run the non-existent file. There are some other ways to achieve this...

I've added a new feature..

At the time of Solar Filter removal, and Solar Filter application, I now utilize a pop-up dialog in Windows to accompany the alert noise.

Thanks!

Hi Steve, I suspect this is a limitation of SharpCap at this moment.. It uses the same space for notifications as it does for status of collections, with only the newest item being displayed. I believe it will still play the alert / error tones, but the messages are likely lost. Maybe Robin can conf...

Hi all, Just a quick note that the Eclipse Sequencer has been updated to make extensive use of the new 'IF EARLIER THAN LOCALTIME' instruction. Please test and re-test... especially, try stopping and starting the sequence in the middle to be sure it skips what it should.. and starts back in on the p...

Ok, I've updated the Sequencer to include the 'STOP AT' wrappers, and tested locally. The sequence now strictly enforces the end times of each section and moves to the next section as desired. The sequence does jump to the point in the script it should, if I re-run the sequence when some of the time...

--- I got a bit too excited... I just tested this: SEQUENCE STOP AT LOCALTIME 08:50:15 LOOP UNTIL LATER THAN LOCALTIME 08:50:00 PAD DURATION TO 1000 CAPTURE 60 SECONDS LIVE FRAMES CAPTURE 1000 LIVE FRAMES END PAD DURATION END LOOP END STOP AT END SEQUENCE But I didn't start it until 09:13. This had ...
