7 Planned developments
The Firmware for the device is continuously developed. There are planned functions that
are not implemented yet so are missing from the current Firmware. The ‘direction ‘of the
development is influenced by the feedbacks from the users.
Currently the following (useful) functions are planned for implementation (not all listed):
•
Multi-star guiding mode. (Under development yet.)
A new option to use more stars optimally (automatic) from the full field to reduce
position noise. Simulations show that is’s very effective for a large amount (10-15)
of faint visible stars.
Only for short guiding scopes and long exposure time.
Not effective for a single bright star in the field.
•
The above mode involves an advanced Star Search function that automatically
classifies stars and excludes wrong doublets and chooses the most suitable ones.
•
Automatic imaging parametrization and on-the-fly gain trimming to avoid
saturation that causes some distortion.
