MultiStarGuiding

Property:

MaxIm::CCDCamera::MultiStarGuiding (read/write, Boolean)

Syntax:

CCDCamera.MultiStarGuiding [= Boolean]

Remarks:

When true, MaxIm DL's multi-star autoguiding algorithm is active.

Note: when multi-star autoguiding is active, the script command GuiderSetStarPosition is not supported, because MaxIm DL needs to create a list of guide star candidates. This list is created when an Expose command is issued to the guider; for example:

 

CCDCamera.MultiStarGuiding = True;  // Turn on multi-star guiding

 

// Position the telescope to the desired field

 

CCDCamera.GuiderExpose(0.1);  // Single exposure to generate the list of guide star candidates

CCDCamera.GuiderTrack(0.1);   // Start tracking using multiple guide stars from that list
