Feature Request - Estimated Duration Display for Capture Plan


s3igell

Question

BYE presents an "Estimated Finish Time" once an Imaging Session is underway.  

 

It would be great if this same "Estimated Finish Time" calculation could be displayed for the Offline Capture Plan Editor.

It would also be nice to see the same for the Planetary Mode Capture Plans (especially since a quantity of Loops can be specified) - but this would be difficult until the LiveView Frame Rate is tested.

BTW:  It'd be great if the Planetary Mode implemented the "Progress Center - Big Display" setting similar to Imaging Mode.

 

This Estimation seems to accommodate the actual Exposure Duration plus the Pause - does it also add a few seconds to account for the Download Time per Image ??

 

For the Imaging Mode and Offline Capture Plan Editors, it'd be great if the "Estimated Finish Time" calculation could also include an estimated Dither/Settling Time.  (I know that this Time Value would be hard to attain via sampling - Dithering Time is somewhat out of BYE/BYN control and Settling Time is even out of PHD2 control.  As a suggestion, a User-Entered Value could be stored in the Settings page PHD Guiding section, and this value (default =0) added to each Exposure for purposes of the Estimation.)
