Let you imaging system work for you all
night long, resulting in more exposures, better looking images,
all while you get a good nights sleep!
CCDAutoPilot is an application which uses your
camera control program, and optionally your telescope control and
focuser control programs to automate many of the key steps to permit
unattended data acquisition for a single target. Once properly set
up for a night’s activity, you can go off and do other things, like
view the stars, have a midnight snack or even hit the sack for the
evening!
It uses either CCDSoft or MaximDL for image acquisition
and optionally either TheSky or ASCOM telescope control programs and
FocusMax for focuser control.
