I’ve been away for a while waiting for equipment upgrades and am now trying to set things up again.
Using the autoFlat option in the Onthe Fly section isn’t a problem but I’m having a challenge trying to set up AutoFlat in Dragscript so that I can have all of my post imaging calibration frames completed at the end of a session.
Does anyone have an example of an autoflat dragscript or thoughts that they could share please? It would save a two step process doing AutoFlats and Bias/Dark frames seperately.
I use it in the Emergency Exit routine, and so far it’s been working rather well.
Before proceeding to shutdown I check we are within a time when the roof is closed in the morning, wait for the time I want to start and when to take flats.
This is done with Ascom controlled remote powered flat panel. I could deal with error handling better, and I’m sure there are other ways to do this , but this way works for me.
This is very similar to what I’ve put together. I’ll give this a try. It must be something that I have been doing incorrectly as my dragscript tries to launch the AutoFlat script and fails. Using your script will hopefully point out for me where I’ve gone astray.
Thanks Leo. That’s what I thought as well. Like most things this has to be user error. I do have a new system, having gone to mono, and I’ve checked my flats using AutoFlat and, after getting the settings right, I have no problem. It’s just getting the sequence file to run in DragScript. I will double check my pathway just to make sure that I have it correct.
Thanks all. User error as expected. Danj, I lookled at your dragscript which was almost identical to mine with the exception that I created a folder under ConfigSequence for my new filter flats. For some reason the new folder wasn’t a problem when running AutoFlat in OntheFly but Dragscript didn’t like it. As soon as I copied my new Autoflat DragScript from the folder and put it in with the other ConFigSequence files it works perfectly.
