I saw it used in a couple of scripts while searching the posts. Does that mean it has been removed?

I saw in other posts that the 64bit version of AA is used for image processing only, which means the camera control plugin cannot be used. But that also means I cannot run scripts. Is there any other way to run scripts other than from a camera control plugin?

Is there a script command for preprocessing? I didn't see anything in the documentation but there was reference to an experimental version back in 2017 I think.

Thanks Fabio, that will be a great addition to how I am using AA. I will send you an email requesting the pre-release.

Craig

Checking to see if there has been any update to this request.

Also, is there a way to have AA startup from the last screen position? I have three monitors and use AA on monitor 2 while processing other work. But each time I start AA it goes to Monitor 1.

Craig

Thanks. That works.

Is there a way to set the Find stars parameters within the script? For example, something like this: Stars.Find.SNR = 10.0 Stars.Find.ADU = 200 Stars.Find.FWHM = 3.5 Stars.Find Here is what I tried: Manually start AA Load an Image Click Tools|Find stars Change S/N to 10 Test .. get 50 stars found Cl...

Found the problem, the function returns two values and so the correct script call is:

ra,dec = Image.EstimateRaDec
print ra
print dec

works okay now. I think this is why we need examples for each script function call.

Here is what is in the FITS header: RA = 347.050474559823 / Object Right Ascension in degrees DEC = -48.3669332248298 / Object Declination in degrees CRVAL1 = 347.042102036400000 CRVAL2 = -48.3703387802500000 OBJCTRA = '23 08 12.114' / Object Right Ascension in hms OBJCTDEC= '-48 22 00.960' / Object...

When I put this in a script and print, I see only the RA value. I am assuming the function returns both RA and DEC as a string.

print Image.EstimateRaDec

In using the Find Stars function I don't think the ADU filter is being used. If I set the ADU filter to 0 and run Find Stars, I then look at the found stars on the image and center on one that is faint. I then rerun Find Stars but with a larger value for ADU (the min value, left column). It makes no...

When opening an image from an external software program, AA automatically opens the Camera Control window and the Script Editor window. Is there a way to override this? I tried this: AASendCommand(AA_SCRIPT_HIDE,nil); thinking that it would hide the windows but it did not work. I could not find any ...
