A new version of Voyager is ready to download in automatic or manual mode.
In this version:
NEW => Added new QHY CMOS Camera control for all QHY CMOS with direct access via SDK (also works with recently released CCD cameras, otherwise the use of the ASCOM QHY driver is recommended)
NEW => Added new Filter Wheel control to manage the QHY filter wheels connected with a cable dedicated to the QHY Camera, it works only if the Voyager QHYCMOS Driver is used
NEW => The QHY CMOS camera control takes advantage of a new layer of pipe data management from download to FIT save written in C language to obtain maximum performance in terms of execution time
NEW => Optimized performance of FIT saving functions for ASCOM and ASI cameras (for ASI cameras the management in C language will be applied in the next releases)
NEW => Added early time parameter in milliseconds for the early start of the download of the QHY cameras if managed by the Voyager direct driver. To prevent the accentuation of the amp glow phenomenon in QHY163 and other older CCD cameras. On indication of the QHY.
NEW => New performance optimizations for FIT save functions for QHY, ASCOM, ASI, CAM8, QSI, SX cameras
NEW => DragScript -> Inserted new conditional block DO IF DOME OPEN to check if the DOME is open
NEW => DragScript -> Inserted new DO IF DOME CLOSED conditional block to check if the DOME is closed
NEW => New option added in RoboFire in the various tab settings to add the current focuser position to the FIT file name in sequence
NEW => DragScript -> Inserted new DO IF FOCAL LENGTH Conditional block to check the focal length
NEW => Updated SDK version QHY to 20.6.26.0
NEW => ASTAP added as new Plate Solving control
NEW => ASTAP added as a new Blind Solving control
MOD => DragScript-> Modified maximum value of the exposure block gain and offset fields
MOD => For the QHYCMOS camera control, the camera first reading procedure has been modified to correctly set the default values of GAIN, OFFSET and USBTRAFFIC
MOD => Normal and Array sequences with an actual duration time greater than 12 hours cannot be performed and are skipped (return OK and SKIPPED as status to DragScript), this to avoid borderline situations for some start / end time configurations
MOD => ERROR is now generated in the DragScript Exposure block if the folder chosen to save the file does not exist
MOD => Modified the maximum and minimum values that can be set in the gain and offset fields of the autoflat sequence, have been brought to -9999 and +9999
MOD => Expanded RoboStar database with stars from magnitude 0 to 2 for ultra narrow filters
BUG => The Voyager setup was considered in the disconnected state even after the connection if the manual flat mode was selected and the flat was connected manually, this caused some dragscript actions such as camera exposure to fail
BUG => DragScript -> When executing the Setup Disconnect block, the general STOPPED state of Voyager was incorrectly set, during the sequences in the same script it was possible to activate the “Stop for inactivity” protection mechanism which stopped the mount even if not necessary to change the meridian
BUG => In the event of an error in saving the current image, a memory leak occurred which led to the general out of memory error
