Filenames Missing <Stdev> And <Fwhm>

[dts350z]

I'm not sure if this part of the known bug with filenames or a new one as I have a slightly different template than before, but my filesnames (in 3.1.1) are missing <stdev> and <fwhm>. see screen shots:

OK, my bad. Sorry for the fire drill. 

 

Don't sweat it, I'm glad it is sorted out.

So you are saying that you have selected <stdev> and <fwhm> to be in the name of your image files, but they are missing?

 

Is your image a real, in focus, night sky image?  Maybe the software could not calculate those values for that image and just dropped them from the file name.  Are they in the EXIF data?

[admin]

Umm.. looks like it could be a bug.

Can you please grab the log files right after you take a picture and send them over so we can better determine what is happening.
Thanks.

Ok so I see no crash. 
If you drag one of the image that does not have the correct naming into the image preview area and click on the exif data button, looks like a rubics cube, what does the 'BackyardCaptureFwhm' and 'BackyardCaptureStdev' fields say ?

[admin]

Hey, I just looked closely and there is no issue, the stdev and fwhm are there.

 

You should probably add some text to have them stand out...

 

<stdev>stdev

<fwhm>fwhm

I could not duplicate the issue either.  It may be pilot error.

I think you've highlighted the RA and DEC in the file name?

 

Or maybe I didn't connect the scope so the RA and DEC were blank. I'll add some separators and make sure to connect the scope tonight.

 

Thanks

I'm 99% sure these are FWHM and StDEV as both are exactly 5 digits, which is what these values are.  RA and DEC are different length.

So the RA and DEC (and their separators) are missing because I didn't connect the scope?

 

Shouldn't FWHM and STDEV have decimal points in them?

Yes, RA and DEC are not inserted when the ASCOM telescope is not connected.

 

FWHM and STDEV are multiplied by 100, then rounded.  So 4.354 for example would be 00435 in the file name.

Decimal Points would be "problematic" for being embedded within Filenames, especially for some Image Processing Apps.

 

A Mount would need to be connected via ASCOM before BYE would have access to RA and DEC values - yes.

Similarly, you'll notice that your <fstop> parameter also didn't produce any component of the Filename - one could infer that you were Imaging with a Scope in this example.
