I've tried running the trial, but always had windows errors.

I can currently auto park using eqascom, but it would be good if the capture software can do that after the flats sequence.
and do you really need a T-shirt if you're taking flats at dawn as the sky would be pretty evenly lit if there are no clouds.
Thanks
Yes it can if you download the program you will see definite start, stop and park times are available?
It has a routine to automate the acquisition of flats at different binning settings and populate the sequence. All done automatically for a user defined ADU level.
