Stop imaging session at altitude XX

#1

Post by stbkaiser »

Hi Robin
Due to trees, houses, etc , I have a limited imaging time for any object.
Is there a way to setup a sequence in SC to stop a imaging session when the object is at altitude XX, then start another imaging session with a new object?
If not would it be possible to add this feature.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,

right now the only option is to use the advanced sequence editor - in there you will find a step called 'Stop running these steps when less than <Distance> degrees above the horizon'. You can put all your imaging inside that step, then when the mount does come down to the specified altitude, it will stop imaging and continue with the remainder of the sequence (park scope, etc?).

cheers,

Robin

Thanks Robin
I figured you had something in here to address the issue.
Time to dig into advanced sequence creation.
Take care
Steve
