ASCOM setup + dark

There is a cool feature that is in neb. You can append the UTC time to the filename. This way each file saved is unique. The problem with a sequential naming is that it's based on the last file saved. If you delete the files, then it starts again from 1. So if you happen to move the file again to another machine you'll end up overwritting the previous batch. Does Maxim have a facility where you can tell him what the name of the file will be based on time? Or maybe the name can be scripted. I have to look into the scripting. Looks like vbs?

PS: I added one 5min dark I did last night. A stack of 104 subs. Is this similar to what you guys are getting. -20c. Also added a snapshot of the ASCOM config for the cam. What's the fine tune boxes for? Also left the pedestal to 88. Not sure what it is and finally Motor Heating% !? What is that?

Got a PM back from Theo. The old QHY9 was fine. It was a faulty DC201 going full throttle all the time then cutting so no regulation. All or nothing. That's what caused the temp seesaw pattern. Always overshooting then cutting.
