Hi Marc
If you use an SBIG CCD Camera and the camera control software CCDSoft, and also use The Sky to point your telescope, then these can work together and identify asteroids in the FOV.
When you use The Sky to e.g. slew to M16 and then begin your exposure with CCDSoft, The Sky “passes” on the RA and DEC coordinates of the centre of the field to CCDSoft, which stores this data in the FITS image header.
Then, after you have taken all the Lights, Darks and Flats and reduced the Lights, from within CCDSoft you can link the image to The Sky and ask The Sky to identify any asteroids in the field.
Cheers
Dennis
