New version V2.67d
with an improvement of webcam driver and a Vesta-SC plugin. The plugin
interface has been updated, see the documentation. New image processing
functions are added. A lot of telescope and tracking improvement suggested
by Philippe Bodart were added.
TeleAuto give you a lot of usefull tools to help you in you observations
:
Some driving pads give you advanced functions to drive you hardwares
:
Telescope
Main CCD Camera
Tracking CCD Camera
Focusers
Dome / Roof
Hour server
You can use a CCD camera or the tracking captor of the SBIG cameras track
to have high precision images. All the cameras can be used to track. There
is no need to orientate the camera. A calibration step measure precisely
the orientation of the camera.
A mount analyse tool display easily the moves of your mount. You can
use it to set you mount using the Bigourdan method. After, you can display
and save the periodic error.
The autofocus function is very appreciated by the users.
It permit you to automatically focus a LX200 telescope in a few minutes.
TeleAuto drives directely the webcams. This is very interesting
for Webcam imaging because now, you can save your images directly in an
astronomy format (FITS,CPA,PIC) and save the precise time of the image
witch is a very important information for planetary observation.
TeleAuto is usefull to easily automate your observations. You
just have to enter a few parameters on your hardware and use the scheduler
to automate your observing runs in a few mouse clics.
TeleAuto is an image processing and analysis program featuring
all the basics functions you attend today from such an astronomy software.
Particularly, it allows you to make very precise photometry and astrometry
measurements.
In the future, TeleAuto will be able to drive a hole automated observatory
like the one of Philippe Martinole.
