QHY Gain and Offset in FIT Header and File Name

Sequence Generator Feature Requests
1

Greetings!

I use a QHY186M CMOS camera with variable gain and offset settings. I see that my gain settings are saved in the FITS header and are also available for placing in file names.

However, it would be helpful if the offset setting from the camera were also placed in the FITS header. I probably wouldn’t use it in file names, but having that option would be good.

Top priority would be to have both values in the FITS header so that the pedigree of acquired files are fully recorded.

Thank you very much!

Best Regards,
Ben

I wanted to resurrect this feature request now that both ZWO and QHY ASCOM drivers fully support per event gain and offset settings. It is important to be able to read from the FITS header the values that were used for debugging purposes as well as for automated calibration of subs with multiple settings.

Thanks!

Luca
