Hi Jean-Francois,

are you already on the FrameCaptured event to be notified of new frames? If so, you should be able to get it via

frame.Info.ExtendedFrameData.GPSInfo.LineTime

Alternatively, try

camera.LatestStatus.AdditionalStatus["GPS"].LineTime

cheers,

Robin

Congrats Jean-Francois!

Your chord is fitting very well - GPS did the job.

Hello,

Here several measurements together ... my chord is the #11.

Robin, thanks ... but with the camera connected, no "LineTime" in the GPS status.

Code: Select all

>>> SharpCap.SelectedCamera.LatestStatus.AdditionalStatus["GPS"].LineTime
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'TTGPSStatus' object has no attribute 'LineTime'
>>> 
I did not try from the FrameCaptured ... it is not in my normal Occultation script (I use only the normal capture to a film, not from an individual frame).

Regards,
Jean-Francois

Hi Jean-Francois,

nice observation! Were there observations of the other half of the system too?

On the subject of the missing property - that is just a visibility issue in the C# code - I will fix that for the next update, but obviously your script will need to handle older builds where it is missing.

cheers,

Robin

Hello,

OK thanks for adding the Line Time in the next update.
Yes, I know, I have already a version check for some of my scripts (for example for showing the Deep Sky Annotation tool from the script).

Concerning Patroclus (the second part of the system) ... I have no mention of a positive observation until today.

Regards,
Jean-Francois
