Bug ID: 424360
Summary: Using Dark Frames in Guiding Module Repeats Dark
Capture Process
Product: kstars
Version: 3.4.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
Reporter: mountainai...@outlook.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The dark frame feature in the guiding module initially appears to work, but
then after some minutes it will prompt me to capture another dark frame when
one was just stored in the library.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In the Guiding Module, choose dark frame.
2. Capture a frame
3. Choose a star
4. Click Subframe
5. Click Guide
OBSERVED RESULT
Ekos will prompt me to add the lens cover to capture a dark frame, as expected
with an empty dark library. This dark frame is successfully stored in the
library. Then guiding begins. After some minutes, Ekos will prompt for
another dark frame. If we don't notice, it will wait 60 seconds then take a
dark frame even without the cover on; this results in an obliteration of signal
that causes guiding to fail.
EXPECTED RESULT
In a single guiding session where exposures and other settings are not
changing, the guiding module should not prompt for a dark frame when a matching
dark frame is already in the library.
