Re: Setting up master dark libraries

With my ASI120MC (native driver) in auto exposure and auto gain mode the camera has a setting to allow a user defined target brightness. Making changes to the brightness slider (not the target brightness) has no effect on the gain or exposure settings when changed. If brightness/contrast etc actuall...

Has anyone figured out how to do this via scripts? I know nothing about Python or coding.
