Feature release of AstroDMx Capture for All platforms
Version 0.86.2
Mutatis Mutandis.
The new version can be downloaded from https://www.astrodmx-capture.org.uk
Nicola has made a feature release of AstroDMx Capture on all platforms: Version 0.86.2
It features an improved, non-destructive, incremental 16-bit brightness control that can be used either on its own in Linear mode, or in association with the other visualisation transforms as well as the transform coefficient. This control is to facilitate the visualisation of 16-bit image data as they are captured, but, being non-destructive, does not affect the data that are saved.
AstroDMx Capture now incorporates automatic version checking on startup to check if you are on the latest version. This can be disabled if required and then you can use the manual check procedure in the Help section.
A user-defined Exposure Delay allows the user to set a time delay between exposures so that the screen will update after the set delay. If the user wishes to keep the exposure, this can be done with the Snapshot button.
The Raspberry Pi now has support in AstroDMx Capture for 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS for the HQ PiCamera up to resolutions of 1600 x 1200, in 8-bits RGB24.
The PiCamera works with all of the functions such as motion detection, and frame-integration, so increases the utility of the camera within this software.
This is a lower priority part of the AstroDMx Capture project that will be revisited in the future.
INDIGO and INDI
Nicola has started longer term work on INDIGO/INDI support that will increase the application of AstroDMx Capture.
Further progress will, as always, be reported on this blog... Stay tuned!
