ATTENTION: I am switching my photos and videos

As soon as I catch up with all my 'existing' photos and videos I will start using Google Plus (G+) for new photos and videos.  You may have already started receiving them there.  If not, let me know and I'll be sure to add you to my circles and send a G+ invite.  Over on G+ the photos and videos autoupload from the cell phone in very high quality (8MegaPixel cam) and 1080p videos, and in nearly realtime.

It's been fun Multiply, but it's time to upgrade!

Astronomy stuff may land here or in Picasa Web albums... not sure yet, but do use the main page for astro stuff, http://maphilli14.webs.com/

Using Sikuli to automate ObservationManager

Here's a nice video tutorial that I made to show Sikuli automation of observationMnager.



Some ideas included are:

User interaction during the script
Script interaction with external applications (IE Not strict patter matching)
Ease of use

Enjoy,

Mike

1st Jupiter of the 2011 season 20110710

1st of the season and 1st for the new scope.
I've also been building my v9 processing routine that relies on Sikuli for total automation.  Note quite there yet, but getting closer.  
I took many captures and was able to sort them quickly to find the best one to focus on.  
I've got lots to learn about processing at this monster scale.  This is only a 125% resize and it's quite early still.
