Filter Wheel Control (For Darks)

[hamiland]

Just a quickie, and I'm sure that it'll have to wait for the filter wheel functionality, but the ability to place a cap in my filter wheel would mean I could automate dark captures in my plan without having to touch anything.  (I know it's lazy).

 

Thanks

Thanks Guylain, capture plan filter wheel support is what I'm after, and I'm aware that the filter wheel may leak some light, however that's a hardware issue (My problem) .

light may still seep in though

Not all Filter Wheels are "Light-proofed", but...  One would have similar Light-Leak Problems with Colored or Narrowband Filters while taking long Light Exposures as while taking Darks.

There's no real way to KNOW whether your Filterwheel is Light-Proof other than to Try It.  So...??...

 

 

Beyond that, BYE Premium Edition includes ASCOM Filterwheel Controls (just not integrated into the Capture Plan)...

 

Is it the Capture Plan FW Support, or are you asking for something more??

It's capture plan filter wheel support, this is how I'm reading the suggestion anyway.
