Feature request - manual filter written to FITS header

mike1485

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but I have a request for a future update to the ASIAIR app. I currently use a ZWO filter draw rather than a filter wheel because there is no way to include the latter in my image train using a canon lens and ZWO ASI2600MM. It would be really nice to be able to specify the filter used and have this written to the FITS file by AutoRun. Could this please be considered for a future release of the software please? Thank you.

Thanks for your reply but it doesn't answer the issue. We are still unable to specify the filter manually. Please could this be added? As mentioned in the other thread, to have the filter name embedded in the FITS header would be very helpful for some processing software, in particular Pixinsight which is widely used by users of ZWO products. Many thanks for your consideration of this request.

If you can confirm this is the same request as yours, then it has already been conveyed.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my request. My understanding of the request in the other thread is for the ability to add a custom filter name when using a filter wheel. In my case I am unable to use a filter wheel (it cannot be fitted into the image train with a canon lens and ASI2600MM). So I would like to be able to specify the filter I am using in the ZWO EOS filter draw for each Autorun session and have that written to the FITS header. Thank you again for considering this request.

Hello,
Filter wheel or filter drawer, I think it is the same thing.

If any change would work equally when a filter draw is being used rather than a filter wheel that would be great. Thank you.
