Miguel created a new topic ' Flats and rotator' in the forum. yesterday

Hi all,

Having a motorized flat panel and an electronic rotator, after an imaging multisession, is there any easy way for taking the corresponding flats with the proper rotation on each batch?

Thank Tony. Do you have an estimation for the 3.7.0 release?

I've had not the opportunity to try. Does that mean that it uses the fit even is not apparently loaded?

Hi,

Running kstars 3.6.9 on ubuntu 22.04.
I create a basic sequence on the scheduler with a reference fit (FITS File field) set. Saving the .esl file and loading it again, won't load the FITS File value.

this is not exactly what I would propose. I'm thinking about a 'Safe rotation' checkbox or similar:

- The supposed safe zone for the rotator is from 0 to 180
- If the rotator is requested to rotate beyond 180d, it will rotate x-180 instead (ie, a request to rotate 210d will result in a rotation of 30d)
- With this option activated, the user agrees the fov may flip

The reasoning behind this is that I (and probably many other users) consider is much safer to stay within 0-180 boundaries since the result is essentially the same (the user agrees a possible fov flip) and the risk for cable entanglement is lower. Even can prevent some tilting to appear.

This is my point of view :)

no afaik, and I've also been thinking about that. It would be very nice to have. Rotating for example 90d clockwise is essentially the same than rotating counter-clockwise. But one movement can be clearly better that the other. That would be a very nice feature to have

any idea for this?

Any plans to launch to official update for Ubuntu 22?

I support the request. Makes no sense the rotator cannot go beyond 180d

is that link updated? what about the hem27/armonic mount? is it compatible?
