APT trial version - reviewing your Lights
No imaging or visual due to smoke haze the past 5 weeks in Sydney , so in my spare time I thought I would give the APT trial version a go , as some time next year I’m going to progress from DSLR to OSC imaging
I downloaded APT trial version 3.81 on my desktop and used an old ZWO ASI120MM USB2 Camera ( spare )
Downloaded ZWO and Ascom drivers and camera connected ok in APT
Changed skin to red ( like I use in BYEOS)
Set a capture plan in Plans editor , just 5 lights , 20 sec exposures , 1x1 binning etc..
Pressed start and captured the 5 images ( obviously white images as camera was sitting on desk )
Found the 5 x FITS files under C Drive in APT folder but obviously can’t open them for review
Questions -
How do I open the FITS file images for review before stacking them into DSS ?
Can you review your lights in APT as you take them like I did with BYEOS ?
I’m so use to BYEOS where you can review the images at will during the capture plan by just opening any thumbnail. And then also review them again in your designated folder using Windows Photo Viewer ( so easy )
Read the user guide but it doesn’t discuss about reviewing your images during or after your capture plan with a CCD / CMOS ( only for DSLR users )
Anyone using APT , appreciate any advice on the above
