Hi,
thanks for the reply.
Your approach to repeat a sequence in the scheduler until having the good amount of light time is a good idea.
And it is easier than create a dedicated tool. I'll try that.

But for handling DOFs in the scheduler, what is the best approach :
- one sequence with all (light + DOFs)
- one sequence for lights, one sequence for DOFs
- one sequence for each kind

How do you do ?

And same question if you handle lrgb filters ?

Thanks for your feedback.

Regards,

Pack

Hi,

I'm currently searching for a sequence generator tool.
A simple command line tool where you set the full time of your shoot and the exposure of a single light.
Then the tool generates a sequence file that fits your wishes base on default template configuration (path, gain, etc.)

Do you know if such a tool exists and if it has sens ?


Where I find documentation about sequence format like xsd in order to create one that fits my needs ?

Thanks and regards,

Pack

Thanks Jasem,

I made further test on my observatory (closer to me now for testing purpose). I was able to use the fliplat with my hardware but only if i add a filter simulator (I user a DSLR without filter) . Otherwise the flipflat is never handled.

I can see in the flipflat indi panel a section about "Snoo...ices" Snooping device ?
 

I forgot to say : Kstars 3.5.4 on RPI 4 (Raspian).

Done Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,  I built myself a flip flat following this thread (in french):   www.webastro.net/forums/topic/172634-un-flip-flat-pour-4-sous/  I’m using it with Ekos with the Alnitak Indi Driver. It works great manually when using it through  the Indi panel ( park/unpark and light). But when I tried to integrate it in my workflow with my camera it is not involved. It works only with the CCD simulator. Here is the calibration option I used for dark/bias and flats: (see calibration picture attached)This the test sequence I used :  1 light 1 s1 dark 1s1 flat 1 s1 light 1  With simulatorLogs: 2021-09-06T11:31:13 Alnitak Remote Dust Cover is online.2021-09-06T11:31:12 Re-enabling debug logging for CCD Simulator...2021-09-06T11:31:12 Re-enabling debug logging for Telescope Simulator...2021-09-06T11:31:10 CCD Simulator filter is online.2021-09-06T11:31:10 Guider port from CCD Simulator is ready.2021-09-06T11:31:10 CCD Simulator is online.2021-09-06T11:31:10 Guider port from Telescope Simulator is ready.2021-09-06T11:31:10 Telescope Simulator is online.2021-09-06T11:31:10 Telescope Simulator is online.2021-09-06T11:31:09 INDI services started on port 7624.2021-09-06T11:31:09 Starting INDI services... 2021-09-06T11:35:47 Received image 1 out of 1.2021-09-06T11:35:47 Download Time: 0.61 s, New Download Time Estimate: 0.58 s.2021-09-06T11:35:40 Capturing 1.000-second Luminance image...2021-09-06T11:35:40 Dust cap unparked.2021-09-06T11:35:33 Unparking dust cap...2021-09-06T11:35:33 Job requires 1.000-second Luminance images, has 0/1 frames captured and will be processed.2021-09-06T11:35:33 Received image 1 out of 1.2021-09-06T11:35:33 Download Time: 0.51 s, New Download Time Estimate: 0.57 s.2021-09-06T11:35:27 Capturing 1.000-second Luminance image...2021-09-06T11:35:27 Job requires 1.000-second Luminance images, has 0/1 frames captured and will be processed.2021-09-06T11:35:27 Received image 1 out of 1.2021-09-06T11:35:27 Download Time: 0.58 s, New Download Time Estimate: 0.60 s.2021-09-06T11:35:21 Capturing 1.000-second Luminance image...2021-09-06T11:35:21 Dust cap parked.2021-09-06T11:35:15 Parking dust cap...2021-09-06T11:35:15 Job requires 1.000-second Luminance images, has 0/1 frames captured and will be processed.2021-09-06T11:35:15 Received image 1 out of 1.2021-09-06T11:35:15 Download Time: 0.62 s, New Download Time Estimate: 0.62 s.2021-09-06T11:35:08 Capturing 1.000-second Luminance image...2021-09-06T11:35:08 Dust cap unparked.2021-09-06T11:35:03 Unparking dust cap...2021-09-06T11:35:03 Job requires 1.000-second Luminance images, has 0/1 frames captured and will be processed.2021-09-06T11:35:03 Warning: Guide deviation is selected but autoguide process was not started.2021-09-06T11:35:03 Ekos will refocus in 1800 seconds.  Change Configuration with ZWO 120 mini as CCD camera  : see ZWO_profile.Starting : 2021-09-06T11:38:38 Guider port from ZWO CCD ASI120MM Mini is ready.2021-09-06T11:38:38 ZWO CCD ASI120MM Mini is online.2021-09-06T11:38:37 Re-enabling debug logging for Telescope Simulator...2021-09-06T11:38:36 Guider port from Telescope Simulator is ready.2021-09-06T11:38:36 Telescope Simulator is online.2021-09-06T11:38:36 Telescope Simulator is online.2021-09-06T11:38:36 Alnitak Remote Dust Cover is online.2021-09-06T11:38:36 INDI services started on port 7624.2021-09-06T11:38:36 Starting INDI services... The dust cover is never handled:  2021-09-06T11:39:53 Received image 1 out of 1.2021-09-06T11:39:53 Download Time: 0.01 s, New Download Time Estimate: 0.06 s.2021-09-06T11:39:52 Capturing 1.000-second  image...2021-09-06T11:39:52 Job requires 1.000-second  images, has 0/1 frames captured and will be processed.2021-09-06T11:39:52 Received image 1 out of 1.2021-09-06T11:39:52 Download Time: 0.05 s, New Download Time Estimate: 0.08 s.2021-09-06T11:39:50 Capturing 1.000-second  image...2021-09-06T11:39:50 Job requires 1.000-second  images, has 0/1 frames captured and will be processed.2021-09-06T11:39:50 Received image 1 out of 1.2021-09-06T11:39:50 Download Time: 0.12 s, New Download Time Estimate: 0.09 s.2021-09-06T11:39:49 Capturing 1.000-second  image...2021-09-06T11:39:49 Job requires 1.000-second  images, has 0/1 frames captured and will be processed.2021-09-06T11:39:49 Received image 1 out of 1.2021-09-06T11:39:49 Download Time: 0.07 s, New Download Time Estimate: 0.07 s.2021-09-06T11:39:48 Capturing 1.000-second  image...2021-09-06T11:39:48 Job requires 1.000-second  images, has 0/1 frames captured and will be processed.2021-09-06T11:39:48 Warning: Guide deviation is selected but autoguide process was not started.2021-09-06T11:39:48 Ekos will refocus in 1800 seconds. Save observation with canon DSL as camera or Flip Flat as dust cover. Is there something particular to configure a CCD camera?What I’m doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards,  Pack
