Thanks Iver,

I seem to be acquiring a number of health issues far to early in life and mobility suddenly seems to be one of them so I'm trying to automate as much as possible whilst I can and maintain my activity in the hobby. Working on the project very slowly at the moment.

Hello Iver, perhaps not, I may have used incorrect terminology. A similar set up to yourself may well be the way. I'm following a youtube presentation for adding motor controlled roof opening and closing manually and the chap has also progressed to remotely opening and closing using NINA which I may...

Is the automated opening/closing control of roll of roof type observatories possible with AstroArt ?

I'm doing my best at trying to use a paramount MEII controlled by AA8 via The Sky X. I have The correct ASCOM Sky for telescope control where I have deactivated synchronise. What I would like to know is the correct settings for TSX and start up procedure. I start up AA with the control settings such...

Are there any members who are using AstroArt xx via The Sky X to control Software Bisque paramount GEM. I am doing this with AA8 and I have the necessary ASCOM Sky X driver from software Bisque. I think I'm having some problems using the AA8's goto - image -plate solve and synch on camera image, re-...

Fabio & Alessandro, I've disabled the save, but still getting the P. I suspect I have a misunderstanding in general with respect to applying darks and flats to raw images and saving them under AA8. seems to be a bit esoteric. Besides applying them to clean up the image I also need to get it correctl...

Alessandro,

thanks for replying
yes I have checked this option and I still get a included in the file name

Hi I'm using the preprocessing tab of AA8 to apply darks to a set of images. The application would seem to add a P to the resultant images. How am I able to apply dark and or flat with the processed image not changing its file name. The resulting file will be compared to master files, hence file nam...

Good day Fabio, I shall read through your comments and try them out. I have also had a friend give me some advice on creating darks etc and applying them and also how to create a master. No I meant to calibrate single images. I'm not an imager so don't usually do pretty pictures. I need individual i...

Fabio, I have now additionally done the flat field (inc the dark flats) correction and have a single corrected displayed. So i guess I now save this image. Which again I guess would be the 11 stacked corrected image. ? Suppose I wanted to calibrate the the II images individually. I suppose this coul...

Fabio,

I have successfully followed these instructions and have the single image with noise much reduced, but the flat faults showing. What would be the next steps?

Cheers, Eric

Fabio, Re point 1 i am finding in difficult to follow the instructions given in the manual and tutorial. I can load up the images, flats, darks etc into the pre-processing, but it's what to do next and how to proceed? your comments re point 2 seem to ring a bell with me so I shall look into this fur...
