    Ok Han, thanks for the information. Piero

    Hi Han, do you know about any possibility to use in PHD2 the Alpaca devices created by your Sky Simulator in a Linux environment? Thank you. Piero

    Thanks Han, the drift is clearly visible now, if I check the "stack" checkbox in ccdciel and disable the star alignment function, I get nicely elongated stars without guiding :) The effects of exposure and gain are clearly visible as well. Are the produced images full 16 bit yet? Thanks a lot for your great work.

    That sounds great and will further improve an already outstanding project! Thanks a lot!

    It seems to work, I had to increase the PA error a lot to see some effects in a shorter time. Probably one thing that tricked me is the fact that even though I set CCDciel for a 300s exposure, the simulator returns the image after one second, and I guess the sky is updated accordingly. That is, the sky updates between two 300s exposures are actually the updates that occur in only two "real" seconds, correct? Thank you.

    Hi Han and thanks for the info. I am using the simulator together with CCDciel under Linux, so I am using the Alpaca interface. Should it work already in this configuration? I am testing it right now, but even with a large PA error I can't see any drift. Thank you. Piero

    Hi Han, I recently discovered and am now playing a bit with the sky simulator and let me tell you this is another great and very useful piece of software from you! I don't know whether this is something not yet implemented or I am missing something, but when I set some PA error, without guiding shouldn't the objects in the FOV drift away, more or less slowly depending on the amount of PA error? I don't see it happen for now, is there anything I should configure? Thank you and keep up the great work!...
