Dual rig camera limit?

[Forum_2015]

Hi,

I'm thinking of converting my setup to a dual rig which means I will be capturing with 3 cameras (Lodestar guiding), I know the CCD plugin has a 2 camera limit but I was wondering whether scripting has the same restriction? Is it possible to create two instances of the camera object?

Thanks

Hi, you can always run a second instance of AstroArt for your second imaging camera.

I know this is an option it would be cleaner to use one instance and I'd prefer to use one script so I could sync the exposures with the dithering. If a duplicate of the camera object was created called "camera2" it would work and avoid any regression impacts.

Thanks for the reply, any chance of this in the future?

I will have a play with multiple instances and see how I get on.

Not in the next 6 months, but supporting them only in scripts and/or with a very limited user interface, could make the thing possible.
