As I employ SGP predominantly for scientific imaging, my filters’ color icon on SGP always show N/A . I suggest that the following filter colors are adopted by SGP even if a green filter (for astrophotography) has the same color as V for photometric use. I do not think that this would add any confusion. I suppose this would be an easy welcome addition to those who use SGP for photometry. Below is a partial list from the AAVSO. The colors in brackets are my suggested ones. Maybe a tick box would enable the following to appear as well.
U : Johnson U [violet]
B : Johnson B [blue]
V : Johnson V [green]
R : Cousins R [red]
I : Cousins I [dark red]
CV : Clear (unfiltered), V-band comp star magnitudes [light grey]
CR : Clear (unfiltered), R-band comp star magnitudes [red]
Is there a possibility that this feature will be implemented in SPG 4? Although SGP is primarily aimed at astrophotography, I suppose many employ this software for scientific imaging such as photometry.
It would also be nice to add a feature where the SNR (instead of ADU) is shown whenever the mouse is moved over a star. This is useful for estimating the expected photometric errors and/or to determine whether more or less exposure is needed to obtain a desired expected brightness error.
It’s certainly a possibility. We are actually getting the SGPro 4.4 backlog together right now. Would you mind pitching (linking is fine… no need to rewrite it) this in the community suggestions thread here?
