I have finally written a Ninox interface Beta version

[davidpretorius]

HI All,
got a heap of runs of jupiter from the last few days to process, so i pulled my finger out and wrote a little windows program that "batches" the ninox program to operate on a heap of runs in directories.

For the unitiated, ninox is a program written by Anthony Wesley (Bird) to centre the planet images and then also run some other really useful pre registax filtering.

Ninox is a dos prompt program, which can be a bit scary for windows users, so I have tried to ease the discomfort.

The idea is that the image runs you do are saved to a generic directory...say d:\avis

Under this directory, each run you do is saved in some meaningful way either by date / time etc.

My program once pointed at d:\avis, will retrieve the subdirectories, and then search through each of those for further sub directories ie R,G,B for filtered work. It also totals the number of images that are in each subdirectory.

Once you have ticked a directory for processing, ninox is fired up with the relevant arguments ie -cut=400, etc etc on each of those directories.
I hope to have a beta version for download this week for you guys to play with.

The next version hopes to interface with the actual ninox help file so you can chose an argument, along with what each argument does.

Onya Dave.


Now all I need is some suitable skies so some images can actually be taken.

Excellent, can't wait! Thanks Dave.

PCFE is good, but is missing the flexibility it needs to be perfect.

You are a man of many talents indeed Dave - well done and thanks for sharing your work.
