Testbed
Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2017 7:17 pm
Hi Robin,
Is there a chapter in the docs that talks about setting up a testbed? I am new to the forum but I think I read a post that made reference to this topic directly or indirectly. I can't find it now.
What I'd like to do is this: Set up the scope one night, do a precise polar align, and record 20 minutes of 1-sec exposures of a half dozen bright stars. And then I'd like to copy those images to my desktop and start writing Python code. I would like to fool SharpCap/IronPython into thinking that these are realtime images.
If that is not possible then may I ask how do you test your code? It seems terribly inefficient to go through the effort of collecting and analyzing realtime imagery at your telescope just to find that you have a bug.
Cheers,
Brian
