how to force a new frame to start
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2021 12:31 pm
Maybe it's a stupid question, but I didn't manage to find a simple way to proceed.
When dealing with long exposures, one is often in a situation where a frame is being recorded but something has to be modfied (gain, filter set, temp, etc).
Is there a simple way to abort a frame in progress, so as to restart the full frame taking with updated parameters. Failure to do so force you to wait until the full completion of the on-going frame.
Generally I turn around the issue by setting a short time exposure , validate, modify again the frame duration which will be taken into accont as soon as a shorter frame is finished. It works, but it's not very elegant.
clear skies !
