New function for BYEOS?


orbmanBYEOS

Question

I am using BYEOS with a Canon 7DII and various lenses on a Star Adventurer tracker for DSO and planetary imaging. The tracker accepts ST-4 auto-guider input for RA only. I do not have an auto-guider, but can correct small amounts of star trailing on each image in post-processing prior to stacking. As I am shooting in LiveView mode, would it be possible for BYEOS to develop a new function to every few seconds or so, grab a LiveView frame, image match, and send RA corrections to the tracker via a separate cable?

During planetary imaging, BYEOS grabs about 22 to 24 frames per second and generates a JPEG for each frame, and then generates an AVI file at the end of the imaging sequence. Seems like it could do something similar during a long exposure, and there shouldn't be much of a RA difference from one image to the next, so image matching should be a quick process??

This additional function could be an upgrade to the license that I would certainly pay for.

BYE is designed for long exposure photography primarily. It is not an autoguider and there are no plans to introduce this type of functionality into BYE sadly. 

BTW, I don't understand why you created a new account to post this instead of using your existing account you used to purchase. This will only lead to confusion in the future when you need to retrieve your software key and don't understand why it isn't showing in your purchase area.
