Image Sequence Not Saving Per “Image File Pattern”

[Jim Waters]

I am not sure if this is a bug or a lack of understanding of the product. I am running N.I.N.A. Release 1.9 on Win7 Pro x64.

From a new install I populated the Options Tabs - General, Equipment, Imaging, Plate Solving and Planetarium.

Within the Imaging Tab I set the following.

Image File pattern - C:\Users\JTWaters\Desktop\ZWO ASI OSC Output\

Image File Pattern - $$TARGETNAME$$$$IMAGETYPE$$$$EXPOSURETIME$$$$GAIN$$$$SENSORTEMP$$$$FOCUSERPOSITION$$

Files are being saved as (1).fits, (2).fits, (3).fits …etc. under C:\Users\JTWaters\Desktop\ZWO ASI OSC Output\

Why are the files not being names per the Image File Pattern? Is this a bug or lack of understanding on my part? I have viewed the YouTube video’s i=on N.I.N.A.

Hi,

the log is located in %LOCALAPPDATA%\NINA\Logs and the profile in %LOCALAPPDATA%\NINA\Profiles

Thanks.

How do you upload non image files?

I cannot reproduce it with your profile. Maybe this was fixed during the course of 1.10. You might want to try out our 1.10 nightly version. It will go to beta soon anyways!

‌

[Jim Waters]

I will recheck with the 1.10 - 072 build later today.

[Jim Waters]

I replied too soon. From the Image File Pattern above I would expect following.

Example - M31 Light 120 0 10 00012 -or- M31Light12001000012

I will retry with the 071 build.

[Stefan B]

It won’t put stuff in that is not available. I have just connected all the equipment required to fill those fields an added “_” between the patterns to distinguish them more easily and the output file is:
M31_LIGHT_1.00_0_10.00_25000.00.fits

‌

[Jim Waters]

I did a clean installation of 071. I removed 1.9 and deleted all files at %LOCALAPPDATA%\NINA\. I didn’t create a new profile. I just modified the Default profile in 071.

Image File Pattern $$TARGETNAME$$_$$IMAGETYPE$$_$$EXPOSURETIME$$_$$GAIN$$_$$SENSORTEMP$$_$$HFR$$_$$FRAMENR$$

I ran an imaging sequence. Output files naming…

M31_LIGHT_5.00_0_10.00__0001.fits

The double underlines between 10.00 and 0001 is for HFR calculation which couldn't be done.

‌

This issue looks like it was resolved in the 071 build. Looking forward to the Beta. Thanks Stefan…
