Astroart Forum

Hi,
I added a YouTube channel to cover some of the AA5 automation and scripting tricks..
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYx7T1 ... HMKndDQucQ

This is in addition to the Forum on AA5 Observation Manager9.05
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/AA5 ... Popup=true

I am about to write ObsMgr V10.0 so any requests:
I already have..
Dome and roof control automation
Rain sensor integration into automation script
Possibility to automate more than 30 targets. (for very short exposure work on variables)
Slit offset script. (guiding is already in AA5 for Spectroscopy)

All the best
John

Hi John,
Just taken a look at your Live Demo video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10qj2r02ODU .

Did you record this with a voice over as all I can hear is some machine noise in the background.

Thanks
Ian

No it does not have a voice over as it is just a demo of an observing session automated without me doing anything..
If you need a description of what is happening, you should be able to read the reporting screen.

Regards,
John

So what do you recommend as the best and fastest way to get into scripting for AA5. I assumed that the best way would be to try writing and running some scripts in AA% before diving into your ScriptRunner and Observation Manager. Ifso which is the best Ypu Tube video of yours to follow?
