Auto Dark Frame Not Needed for a OSC // Plate Solve Fails Script Aborts #7

Closed astromiester1 closed 1 year ago

rrskybox commented 1 year ago

I found a place where I wasn't using the configured (on the Target tab) calibration for AutoDark when doing a CLS. I fixed that and gen'd a new build -- Humason64Build231.zip. I won't have time to test it, but it "should" work now for your OSC.

After some thought last night, I decided to both generalize and expand the handling of image reduction choices. Besides the complexities raised by using an OSC, I also wanted to add Full Reduction as an option (which I've been using a lot recently in other projects). So, all the reduction choices for imaging, guiding and CLS's have been moved to the Options window. At the same time, choices for AutoDark have been removed from the Target tab and Guider tab. You will not have to restart Humason if you only change the reduction choices on the Options tab (I'll get rid of that warning sometime in the future.)

The new rev is Humason64Build232. I've tested these changes briefly, but I could have always introduced something else. So it goes. I left the last build in the hopper just in case.

I tried the latest 232. This is what I am seeing..

  1. Plate solver tab removed. This is a problem because I can't force settings in TSX that I know work. So, Humanon sets it to something and it fails to find a solution and shuts down the script. If I use my settings I can plate solve on same image very quickly but Humanson changes the settings during its run and it fails.

My settings for Humanon is the following: Options. All reduction off. no rotator, weather or dome. Using simulator filter wheel. 1 filter called OSC. Target tab: LRGB ratio 1 Devices. Clear set to 1, Focus set to 0, Guide box all unchecked,, Focus box no autofocus

I'd like to hear what your work-around was. SB changed how scripted CLS is handled during their last build and I don't remember if I went back and removed what I did in Humason to deal with the problem they fixed, but probably not yet. As I said, I've been distracted with other projects...

Also, the Rotator tab has the Plate Solving functions on it, for obvious reasons. If you want that tab to show, then enable a Rotator in the Options window. You can then show the tab but disable the function on the Devices tab, if that makes sense.

The workaround was to change my platesolver settings to 2x2 and double the image scale but use blind in allsky.

Hmmm... not sure why that would work, but see my comment about setting up an FOVI.
