Additions
- A better message about why ASCOM offset cannot be used when an incompatible version of ASCOM platform is detected.
- Adding PIERSIDE keyword to FITs header
- ASCOM Gains and Offsets can now be selected when the camera is not connected (must have connected successfully at least one time for this to work).
- ASCOM version is now logged and added to forum posts created via the SGPro issue reporting tool.
- ASTAP as Auto Focus Metric Provider
- Enabled version check and max eligible version for SGPro 4 (including beta)
- Gain and Offset now in FITs headers
- Left-Clicking the cog icon for event options shows the options dialog immediately, Right-Clicking the cog icon will show the context menu.
- Logging when the camera temperature is reported to be within range at the start of a sequence.
- You can now select ASTAP as the focus metrics provider for Auto Focus (ensure that you have the latest version of ASTAP installed).
Changes
- Fixing ‘Alnitak Flatbox’ to use O instead of 0 (zeros). Added ‘Alnitak Flatbox Old’ for backwards compatibility with DIY flatboxes based on Arduino github project.
Fixes
- A condition where restart on safe could fail while awaiting user input.
- A localization issue that could cause an invalid date format for DATE-OBS and DATE-LOC FITS headers.
- Addressed issue with File Naming pattern when %co (Offset) was used.
- Addressing connectivity check issues
- Addressing connectivity check issues
- Addressing issue where ASCOM 6.4 users were receiving an error about get_Offset.
- Addressing issue with RA logging
- An issue that would prevent the equipment profile manager from opening when the new switch cache was missing.
- An issue that would prevent users with ASCOM versions 6.4 and below from connecting the camera (maybe fix).
- An issue where ASCOM cameras that support gain, but not offset would not show available gains in the dropdown list.
- An issue where Eagle devices would not be found. Note that this ‘fix’ is really just a new settings dialog that allows a user to manually specify the location (IP) of the Eagle (instead of attempting to auto-detect).
- An issue where gear might disconnect prior to running end of sequence actions.
- An issue where it was not possible to bypass the wait on TEC temperature when using ‘Cool on sequence start option’
- An issue where some users could not open images from disk (SGPro would hang).
- An issue where where auto focus may not be properly terminated during an unsafe condition.
- An issue with ASCOM camera gain where a sequence may not save the value properly.
- ASCOM Switch Devices will now temporarily disconnect in order to show their settings dialog.
- Profile Manager crashing with switches present
- Several ASCOM camera offset related bugs (including file naming issues).
- SGPro should now allow ASCOM cameras to connect when ASCOM 6.5 is not installed.
- SGPro will no longer warn a user about needing ASCOM 6.5 when user already has it.
- SGPro will now properly rebuild the child switch list after SwitchDevice settings are altered.
- Skipping target status check when manually slewing to target.
