Corpze Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Hi.I have been running my DDM 85 for almost three years now and I am really starting to enjoy this mount more and more for every day (Night) I am using it..The MBTF is now over 90%.I am running a 100% automated roll off roof observatory - and I am wondering over a few things.1. - The Ascom Safety monitor. If i have setup a imaging sequence, and press "start @ time" - sequence will start the sequence IF the Safety monitor says "SAFE" - If it declares "NOT SAFE" - the sequence will be terminated ("Stop" or "Close All"?) - And it will not give it any more try to run the sequence until i manually terminates the sequence and setup another sequence and press "Start @ time" again? It would be awesome if the safety monitor in sequence could listen if the ASCOM driver says "SAFE" and then starts the sequence.2. - Script, IFTTT or similar. Can sequence output any string, be scripted or similar to trigger an IFTTT? I Have a home automation system (Vera) for my garden lights and it woul'd be great if I could turn off the lights when sequence starts it's imaging session.

maxmirot Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 "The MBTF is now over 90%" I am not sure what this means. I wish they would continue development of Sequence or allow all features of the mount including MPLT to be accessed by other software. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeCarey Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I am guessing MTBF is 'mean time between failures' For astrophotography that probably means 90% good images.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
