WOW!!
What app do you want to support AO? My own app ACP supports SBIG and Starlight Xpress AO units through MaxIm’s excellent scripting API.
Mark — Please work this on the ACP forum since ACP takes responsibility for guiding including flip management. MaxIm’s flip stuff is supposed to...
I should mention that one of our customers experimented over time and discovered that being able to adjust the mean background ADU for flats on a...
If this is useful, I just posted an update to ACP’s flat fielding script. It allows you to set Target ADU values per-filter. Eric you can look at...
