Planning feature for Video

Astrobert

Hello ZWO-Team,
your software is getting better from version to version. Congrats!
Planetary imaging has some room for improvement from my point of view. I would appreciate to have a planning function for video in a similar manner as for DSO. I have the following in my mind:

Plan for i.e. Jupiter:

Slew to Jupiter and center on it
Loop the following for Y times
a. Select ROI
b. Record the video for X Seconds (or frames)
c. Pause for a certain time in seconds
End job, Home Pos, etc.

If this is available already, I would appreciate your hint. If not, please make it available in a future version.

Thank you very much in advance!

Thank you for your support.
Do you mean ASIStudio or ASIAIR?
In planetary imaging, some parameters need to be adjusted on the spot before shooting, such as gain and exposure time, also usually won't capture a long time, so I think we don't have this plan for now

@Tech@ZWO#59361 I meant ASIAIR.

I agree with you according to the adjustments and exposure times. But it would be easy to set the things up and then shoot 10 seconds, wait 50 seconds, shoot 10 seconds. For sure the Konfiguration is always the same.

I would love to have in the Video tool bar, "Record Set", instead of just a record and stop, Record Set would let you choose how long to record and the pause between each recording, + the number of videos... It would be simple, so you can observe a Jupiter transit event for 2 hours by saying: Record 30 seconds, Pause 60 seconds, for 120 sets... (ASI Air)

chaosnix68 Got it, thanks.
I forwarded this to our ASIAIR team.

Would also need something to auto centre the planet before recording starts.
