Dark Library Creation
Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2017 8:23 pm
While making a dark library this weekend I came up with the following.
1. I had to manually account for the BIN setting because the BIN setting is not included in the path or file name.
2. The number of darks to capture resets to 10 after each capture. I was using 25 and had to remember to set the 10 to a 25 every time. This resulted in a few do overs because I forgot to change the value.
3. Is there a way to add some automate the process? If for a particular setting group, I could select a table of exposures (such as 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 min). This would be much easier; I could let it run for 5 hours and be done instead of starting each one individually.
I was using the ZWO ASI1600MC-Cool.
