Hi;

Being a newcomer to this program I might aks a trivial question, so plaese forgive!

Is there a possibility to use CCD AP 3 for an automated flat production with a flatfield panel or box after takig the light frames?

For example this way:

1. Go to a specified position
2. Switch tracking off
3. Run application (to switch on the lightbox)
4. Take automated flats for all desired filters with dithering between these images
5.Run application (to switch off the lightbox)
6. Park scope
7. Close Dome (or before "1")
8. Run application

Any advice ist higly welcommed! Many thanks in advance!

Peter

This will be one of the new capabilities in version 4, scheduled for availability later this month.

Hi John,

thanks for your information; I am looking forward.

Maybe then also an automatism in implemented to automaticly coohse the right guding time like a competitor provides?

BTW your CCD programs are very powerful and I looking forward te get more familiar with these step by stap. So I hope I get working also my indoor work arround for testing - other threat - my observatory is nearly one hour away...

Best regars and thans again!

Yes, among many other new features.

John,

Thanks again for the information. I will wait and learn in the meantime abotz the current version. It is easier with the simulator now runnung but surely better unter the real sky...

Regards

Peter

BTW: Is there a preview for the new version to be found anywhere in the web
