Name files using RA and Dec

#1

Post by maropapa »

Hi Robin,

When someone uses scripting for e.g .sky partol he often sets up the scope by only coordinates. A great extension would be if filename template could get the current RA and Dec from scope control and form a TargetName from that like: RA18h23D-10d04

Also in scripting a "Set Target Name to Coordinates" checkbox would help later to find a particular image.

If no connection to the scope, the default Capture would do.

Best regards,
Tamas

Hi,

thanks for the suggestion - not something I had thought of. I already have some extra filename template parameters I want to add in the future, so will put the co-ordinates on the list and also consider the file naming idea.

cheers,

Robin
