Easy Imaging Using N.I.N.A Plugin Target Scheduler

[@astrophoto_andy3335]

Thanks for doing this Bill! I'm going to start using this.

You are welcome Andy! It's been a game changer for me. Let me know what you think once you start using it. If you want a link to the sequence template I use let me know.

@@AstroVagabond I'd love to have the template! You still have my contact info?

That is a cool plugin!

[@AstroVagabond]

Yeah it really takes all the complication out of using the NINA advanced sequencer. Building and adjusting exposure plans is very eay and knowing what you captured if you have to image a target across multiple night really helps.

Good one Bill. Although I don't use Target scheduler 'yet', or had time to study as you have, I do understand the potential of the plugin. Question: 1 Does Target Scheduler FLAG you when a target is complete, or do you have to check your list of targets to see what has been completed. 2 Image rejection. Does Target Scheduler tag in the file name all subs that it has rejected. Or do you have to look for them. -----------------

Thank you Robin! Here is the link to the Image Grader documentation. I'm not certain as to the anser for your question #2 since I always evaluate each exposure in PixInsight. tcpalmer.github.io/nina-scheduler/post-acquisition/image-grader.html As to question #1 I do not think so. I'll did deeper when I get back from my trip to Utah to see if I can provide better answers.

Hi Bill, good video. I have begun setting up my profiles and target list. I’m currently shooting OSC wit the Askar D1 and D2as well as the IDaS LP2 light pollution filter. I would love to get a peek at your advanced sequence and see how you use target scheduler in their. I have two advances sequences I run now for OSC and OSC with rotate for my Celestron c6 and my Stellarvue SVX 103R. Thank you, m m Mark Mruczek

Here is the link to my sequence Mark. Let me know if you have issues accessing it. I will release a short video today stepping through the sequence and identifying which plugins I use other than Target Scheduler that are part of the sequence. drive.google.com/file/d/1L6AduLHCKKFT9NtwEhy3dltAEOdAdK_e/view?usp=sharing

Thank you Bill, appreciate it. Looking forward to your next video.

[@AstroVagabond]

You are welcome. I did released one where I walkthrough my squence and point out the other plugins I use as part of the sequence.
