I have decided to give SIRIL a run.

But I'm having some trouble deciding on a directory/sub-directory structure thatr will best suit.

The cause of the problem, I think, is that I am trying to accomplish too much.

I have multiple mounts, scopes and cameras. I use diferent combinations of equipment according to the time of year and targets available. So, for example, an EQ6 with a 5 inch refractor and OSC CCD with NB filters; or an AM5 with a 94mm refractor, a MM or OSC CCD etc. It's an embarassingly long list.

I gather SIRIL requires lights, darks, flats and bias subs to be placed in particular locations. It cannot, for example, allow me to gather multiple images/subs of different targets, scopes, filters etc in these same subdirectories. I gather I have to create a separate tree for each target scope CCD and filter combination and obviously, that does not allow me to mix scopes, filters etc.

That tends to maske to a pretty untidy file structure and, frankly, one I find a bit confusing.

So I am wondering if anyone else who has more experience with SIRIL has figured out an optimum structure.
