Simple idea to improve imaging.

Simple idea to improve imaging.


I use EasyCap software with my QHY9M.
How about a modification to the software that will close the shutter if the PHD guide graph
exceeds a certain limit e.g. more than ±1 division -
but will allow for that in the image time so that the subframes are still the same length?
It would be the end of egg shaped stars ruining a picture.
( obviously the shutter would open again as soon as the guide graph was below ±1 division )


It is possible to do manually if you had a cable wired into the camera to close the shutter manually
but still keep the KAF8300 running..

cheers
Allan
