[nebulosity] getting into scripting - taking flats?
I've written my first Nebulosity script for an imaging sequence I'm
planning this weekend. Tried to throw in a few prompts to help me
out along the way. See extract below[1]
Got some quick questions.
- SetGain - the documentation just says "sets the camera gain to be
N". But is this "N" the actual ISO (I'm using a 40D), or the
index number of the preset ISO in the drop-down box?
- I'm wondering about taking flats. My thinking was that I'd just
complete the imaging run as per the script, then at the
pause/prompt at the end I could change the camera mode to Av instead
of M and let the camera decide the shutter speed. If so, what
should I "SetDuration" to? Does it matter if the camera isn't on
bulb? Or, should I just leave it as a prompt and do the flats
manually outside/without a script?
Any other comments or tips? How do you do your scripting?
Examples?

# should I add "Capture" and more here again?
