Activate Deepsky Sequence Planner

#1

Post by Farzad_K »

Hi,

I just upgraded to a Pro license especially because I wanted to look into the sequence planner. But the feature is still deactivated. What are the pre-conditions for this feature to be active? Certainly I would want to plan the sequence in advance of bein out there in the dark and cold with all the gear connected. Hopefully this is not what is needed.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Farzad,

to use the planner you need to open the camera that you plan to image with - that's because the options shown to you in the planner will be tailored to your camera's capabilities and options. Once you have opened the camera, the menu item will become enabled. You should also make sure any ASCOM hardware you intend to use (focuser, mount, filter wheel) is connected too - that will ensure all the options you need are available.

thanks,

Robin
