Adjust auroracam brightness with daylight #28

Closed markmac99 closed 1 year ago

markmac99 commented 1 year ago

At present, auroracam switches mode abruptly at dawn. It'd be better to gradually change the sensitivity so that the overall brightness remains roughly constant. Maybe the camera has an auto-exposure mode? Worth checking. Otherwise, i could determine the end of astronomical dark and gradually adjust the gain down till full daylight.

Trying setting the min exposure to auto, this should allow the camera to adjust to lighting conditions. We will see later!
