![]() ![]() If the Twilight restriction is not checked, the observation job will not depend on night time and the modified dusk and dawn will be ineffective in scheduling that job. If the Twilight restriction is checked, the modified dusk and dawn values will be used to schedule the observation job to night time. The resulting dusk-to-dawn interval is displayed in the Scheduler UI on the right side of the Twilight checkbox. The dawn offset and the pre-dawn offset are cumulative, but the dawn offset allows an earlier or later dawn to be used both while scheduling and executing. dawn) offset will apply a positive or negative hour offset to today's astronomical dusk (resp. This introduces two new Ekos options, located in the Scheduler option pane. Each detected star HFR is now displayed next to it.Įric Dejouhanet implemented customizable dusk and dawn offsets (D23869). ![]() The UI received an overhaul as well to make the various settings more accessible. This led to incorrect consolidation of HFR over multiple stars in the focus procedure and incoherent results in full-frame mode. With this change, the FITS data is displayed using (a copy of) the INDI blob sent to INDI::CCD, a memory buffer, and the FITS data is written to disk on a separate thread, which does not block the next capture nor the display of the INDI data.Įric Dejouhanet Fixed HFR calculation in the FITS Data class, which was accumulating integer instead of double values. This delayed the next capture by a few seconds. When capturing images, previously once the capture was complete, images were written to disk, then read back, then displayed in the fits viewer (if enabled), and finally the next image could be captured. Hy Murveit contributed further improvements to the FITS loading mechanism which resulted in speed ups during sequence capturing. ![]() Wolfgang Reissenberger continued his outstanding work on the observatory module by adding a dedicated weather widget with live plotting for each parameter. Once the exact FOV is measured, the search radius is reset to the default value to expedite subsequent searches. This make the initial solve with a wider search radius faster compared to a blind solve. Furthermore, the Align module initial FOV is calculated from the camera and telescope parameters (no longer default to 0x0'). The error reporting was improved to show the overall error in arcsec. You need to download and install the G17 Star Catalog for ASTAP to work locally. ASTAP employs a different method to solve images making it extremely fast while at the same time requiring a smaller star catalog compared to other astrometric solvers. ![]() KStars included support for solving via ASTAP in the Align module in addition to the existing solver. This late autumn release packs a lot of new features and fixes across the board.ĪSTAP is an astrometric plate solver, stacking of images, photometry, and FITS Viewer application available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux on multiple architectures. KStars v3.3.7 is released for Windows, MacOS and Linux. ![]()
