Well, at last! Setting the subrame to 100% solved the problem. But it does not work with 90% or other settings, though. Anyway the focusing was correct even with those elongated stars. I did not try to update the drivers yet to see what happens. My drivers are updated to 2024, but i noticed there is...

The images are 4 seconds long. Can the focuser slide for that long after moving? For the FF autofocus the setup steps are 60, that is, 170μm in my EAF focuser. It moves pretty fast, under half a second. I will try some more tests. Maybe lowering the number of steps. Also i will try to image at the s...

Connections are fine. That is not the problem. I have two telescopes on the same mount. If i shoot with the other telescope's camera while full frame focusing at the same time, the other camera shows perfectly normal stars while AstroArt's Full Frame Focus shows them elongated. How is that possible?...

My mount sits in an equatorial wedge very well aligned. Even if i do not use guiding, any shot shows round stars even with long expositions. Just before focus i usually acquire a simple image a few seconds long that looks fine. Besides, the Full Frame autofocus uses 4 seconds shots. Also, the camera...

Hello.

No. Guiding is not active.
Besides, if i get a single image just before or after focus, the image is perfectly normal with round stars!

Hello.

When i use the full frame autofocus, the images acquirted show elongated stars along the process.
Anyway, the final focus seems to be correct. Is this normal? I guess not!

Thanks.

It worked! I checked your links did some tests and found the solution. I had to use the function text.encode() Now the Python script is: import ctypes my_dll = ctypes.CDLL("C:/Users/yo/Desktop/AstroArt scripts/_The_DLL/64bit/AARemote.dll") VAL = 10 text = "for i =1 to 10\n\tprint i\n\twait(1)\nNext ...

Hello. So i followed your indications and downloaded the Remote Control SDK. I am not a programmer but after a not easy research and several tries i finally could build a Python script to launch AstroArt. Very simple: import ctypes my_dll = ctypes.CDLL("C:/Users/yo/Desktop/AstroArt scripts/_The_DLL/...

Hello.

I wonder if it is possible to start an Astroart script from an external program, a Python script, for example.
I have searched in this forum but i did not find anything.

Thank you.

Hello.

I am starting with Astroart. My main interest with it is its capability of slit guiding.
I tried last night for the first time and seems to work pretty work.
Bu, where can i check how was the guiding? Is there any saved log?

I could not find any.

Thanks.
