Thank you Patrick! It's a great thing for smaller machines.
My 7y old netbook will be happy to run it. Looking to test CCDCiel outdoor with proper data.

A small feature request: can you add a switchable reticle or/and cross hair to the preview tab ?

Patrick,
I like the compact size and relative completeness. I will be testing this application. I could not figure out what the Frame section under the capture window did?? What are the acceptable values?
Do you plan to add auto focus?
Auto focus every x frames?
This has a lot of promise... Bruce

Hi,

Sure, reticle is among the features I want to add.
Autofocus is also planned , but for now it is a hot summer with more outdoor activities than programming

The Frame section is related to the CCD_FRAME INDI property, something other software call ROI.
Valid values range from 0 to your CCD size.
You can use the keyboard Shift key + left mouse button to set the frame area.

This -- > "outdoor activities" , enjoy the hot summer

Excellent! We all appreciate your good work..... Bruce

Patrick,
Will indi starter work on a Raspberry Pi? I did not see a ARMHF version....Bruce

Bruce,
yes, I need to upload the packages to Sourceforge.
But they are already available in the Skychart unstable repository. I just update the doc page to indicate that:
www.ap-i.net/skychart/en/documentation/i...tion_on_linux_debian

Patrick, excellent work! Thanks for sharing it!
I am presently testing it on my RPI2 and it seems to work just great!
One thing I noticed, when I installed the deb package from your repo, Skychart performed poorly on the RPI2, I then recompiled it from source and it is now way much faster.
But again, it looks extremely promising.
One question: is it possible to automatically send the "dither" command between two frames or is it only a manual operation that can be done by pressing its button?

Thank you one again and keep up the great work!

Piero

Thank you for the information. I will try the package on my RPI2.

It is planned I add a "dither" option to the Capture box and also to the Edit Plan.
This program is far than finished but I lack free time to make significant advance. But I hope for a new version before the end of the year.

Patrick

Excellent news, can't wait for the new version.....

Thank you.
Piero

ccdciel_0.8.0-266 can capture a video.

Wow, lots of progress, can't wait to test it!
Thank you.

Piero
