at the Astroart web site: http://www.msb-astroart.com/ it's now available a new interface for camera and telescope control.
Version 5.41 - October 28, 2014
-------------------------------
* Script commands ObjectCoordinates and PlaySound.
* Script source with realtime scrolling during execution.
* Minor bug fixes.
The autoscroll feature is very useful when using long scripts, the current line under execution is now always visible.
The function PlaySound just plays a .wav, it has been used to triggle exposures on a Sony Nex camera.
The function ObjectCoordinates return coordinates of a given deep sky object, in J2000 epoch. If you are working in JNOW please consider the following example:
Code: Select all
ra,de = ObjectCoordinates("NGC 7122")
print ra$(ra), dec$(de)
ra,de = PrecessionJNow(ra,de)
print ra$(ra), dec$(de)
