Camera Capture <seconds> live view frames?

#1

Post by bvalente »

Is it possible to capture by time limit rather than frame count in the sequencer?

I'm trying to automate planetary imaging with mono camera and filter wheel

I only see Capture <frame count> live view frames


Thanks

Hi Brian,

there isn't a step to do that all in one go, but it is easy enough to build a sequence to do it - something like

Code: Select all

SEQUENCE
    LIVE MODE
    CAPTURE START
    DELAY 10
    CAPTURE STOP
END SEQUENCE
It makes sense to have a single step to carry out that task though, so I will add one for a future update.

cheers,

Robin

Thanks Robin

that's a workable solution for now and I look forward to any future update

I saw a older python script to automate this, but i'd prefer the sequencer to that :)
