Hello everyone,,
I am using ACP (
http://acp.dc3.com) to control the backyard observatory but have a small issue with the ATIK camera driver.
In MaximDL, if I use the standard ArtemisHSC driver there is a blocking issue when ACP's web interface is being used - there is a delay of 2-3 minutes until the web page is being displayed.
Probably ACP queries something from the camera which blocks the CPU.
If I change to Chris Rowland's ASCOM driver, everything is fine - no more blocking issue. But unfortunately this driver doesn't allow to take images less than ~0.2 seconds, which disables the possiblity to take bias images.
Is there any chance to either change the behaviour of the ArtemisHSC driver - or - to allow the ASCOM driver to take images with zero exposure time
vin check if the image type is BIAS?
As I already developed some ASCOM drivers for other projects, I would also appreciate to make the source code available if there are no copyright issues. To make a new ASCOM camera driver from scratch would also be a possibilty, but the interface to the camera dll (unmanaged C++) is quite complex in the .NET environment and I'd like to avoid unnecessary work.
Best regards,..
