[Kstars-devel] Photo mosaic ?

[Jason Harris]

Hi,

The scripting can certainly be used to automate taking a number of  
pictures in a prescribed pattern.  You would use the function  
setINDITargetCoord(ra, dec) to point the telescope, and  
startINDIExposure(secs) to take an exposure.  There are many other  
commands available, check out the ScriptBuilder tool (Ctrl+B) for a  
complete list with documentation.

The scripting language is not so advanced that you can just give it a  
target and a number of pictures, but it would be pretty easy to write  
a shell script that would allow you to do that.

clear skies,
Jason
