天文摄影软件Sequence Generator Pro 4.0.0.700

Sequence Generator Pro是一款用于天文摄影，能够执行复杂的捕获事件序列，具有可视化精准构图，马赛克自动生成拍摄计划，自动控制电动调焦，自动控制导星，自动中天翻转，整晚多个目标轮流拍摄等等非常强大的功能，帮助用户花更多的时间查找并减少与钻机作战的时间。本软件支持多种设备，利用Sequence Generator Pro强大的排序引擎，可以协调各种设备，包括相机（CCD和佳能数码单反相机），彩色滤光片，聚焦控制器和望远镜等，将可以想象的各种目标和事件串在一起，以捕获“光”、“暗”、“偏”或“平”帧，几分钟内规划复杂的马赛克并快速成像。

我们的目标是为天文摄影提供一流的图像捕捉套件。多年来，我们一直因明显缺乏使星空下的生活更轻松的关键功能而感到沮丧。你有很多设备，有时很难让它们一起工作。我们编写了能够执行捕获事件的复杂序列的软件，这将使您有更多的时间查找并减少与您的装备斗争的时间。

我们也强烈希望以实际价格提供软件。让我们面对现实吧，天文摄影很贵！您应该能够专注于购买设备，而不必担心在软件上投入大量资金来控制它。

强大的测序
利用Sequence Generator Pro 强大的测序引擎。有了它，您可以协调各种设备，包括相机（CCD 和佳能数码单反相机）、彩色滤光片、对焦控制器和望远镜。将您可以想象的各种目标和事件串在一起，以捕捉“亮”、“暗”、“偏差”或“平坦”帧（您甚至可以使用事件来定义“暂停”或“挂载”事件）。

设备配置文件
使用我们的配置文件管理器让您的生活更轻松。有多个坐骑或范围？有多组过滤器？创建序列时，它们是否需要不同的设置？概要文件管理器可以记录这些设置并允许您从现有概要文件创建新序列。这可以节省大量时间，并且每次都能让您更快地成像！

自动对焦
即使温度不希望你也能保持对焦！我们强大的焦点指标将能够为几乎所有深空目标确定适当的焦点。无需偏离目标即可找到合适的聚焦星！只需以良好的对焦开始您的序列，自动对焦将完成其余的工作！

自动子午线翻转
使用我们强大的自动化功能来翻转您的坐骑并继续在子午线的另一侧成像！Sequence Generator Pro 将自动停止引导、翻转底座、在像素内将目标居中、重新启动引导，然后恢复您的成像序列。无需操作员协助。 1

灵活的对焦模式
使用我们灵活的规则引擎来定义各种对焦模式。这些模式可用作“按顺序”自动对焦程序的一部分（即，当温度下降 1 度时）或作为暂停序列以强制手动对焦的手段（通过对焦掩模或其他程序）。使用时间、帧间隔、温度或过滤器变化来定义模式。

目标框架变得容易
使用我们强大的自动定心程序快速找到您的目标并开始成像！非常适合多夜成像，甚至在子午线翻转之后，我们可以让您快速回到正轨。只需选择您想要居中的图像（它可以是您自己的图像，甚至可以是互联网上的图像！），然后单击一个按钮，让您的坐骑自行居中并进行验证！

以现有图像的任何部分为中心 对于
Sequence Generator Pro 捕获的几乎任何图像，您都可以使用鼠标指向任何感兴趣的区域，并让您的坐骑将其自身居中……只需单击一个按钮！

在几分钟内创建复杂的马赛克序列
使用此工具，您可以在几分钟内计划复杂的马赛克并快速进行成像。只需下载具有您预期目标的图像（通过提供的界面），旋转以找到您的相机角度，在感兴趣的区域周围绘制一个正方形并开始成像（该工具将为您创建一个序列）。真的就是这么简单…您也可以使用此工具处理单帧图像，以确保您的相机角度处于理想位置。框架和马赛克向导是一个 SGPro 附加模块。有关此附加组件的更多信息，请单击此处。

Flat Frames Made Easy
Sequence Generator Pro 提供了大量工具，让您轻松捕捉 Flats 校准数据！使用校准向导自动确定您的装备的最佳曝光长度，然后使用平面向导，您可以自动将平面框架添加到您的序列中。

其他功能
使用您选择的三个自动引导器（PHD、Astroart 和 MetaGuide）在帧之间抖动
轻松执行帧和对焦例程（支持子帧和高速相机）
使用我们高度可定制的用户界面（拖动、停靠和浮动）让您感觉宾至如归几乎适用于任何动作的小模块）
十多个可配置的 UI 模块（PHD 绘图、图像平移和缩放、TEC 控制）
用户定义的 TEC 冷却和预热程序（以最大限度地减少相机敏感组件的热应力）
帧间温度补偿
从您的“灯光”序列轻松创建和运行“平面”序列
详细的文档和教学视频

Our goal is to provide a best-in-class image capture suite for astrophotography. Over the years we have been frustrated by a distinct lack of key features that make life easier under the stars. You have a lot of equipment and sometimes it is difficult to get it all working together. We have written software that is capable of executing complex sequences of capture events which will allow you to spend more time looking up and less time fighting with your rig.

We also feel strongly about providing software at down to earth prices. Let’s face it, astrophotography is expensive! You should be able to focus on the purchase of equipment without worrying about investing a fortune in software to control it .

Powerful Sequencing
Take advantage of Sequence Generator Pro’s powerful sequencing engine. With it you can coordinate a wide variety of equipment including cameras (CCD and Canon DSLRs), color filters, focus controllers and telescopes. String together any variety of targets and events you can imagine in order to capture “light”, “dark”, “bias” or “flat” frames (you can even use events to define “pause” or “mount park” events).

Equipment Profiles
Use our profile manager to make your life easier. Have multiple mounts or scopes? Have multiple sets of filters? Do they require different settings when you create sequences? The profile manager can record these settings and allow you create new sequences from existing profiles. This can be a huge time saver and will get you imaging faster every time!

Auto Focus
Stay in focus even when the temperature doesn’t want you to! Our powerful focus metrics will be able to determine proper focus for almost any deep space target. No need to slew off target to find suitable focus stars! Simply start your sequence in good focus and auto focus will take care of the rest!

Automated Meridian Flip
Use our powerful automation to flip your mount and continue imaging on the other side of the meridian! Sequence Generator Pro will automatically stop guiding, flip the mount, center the target within pixels, restart guiding and then resume your imaging sequence. No operator assistance is required.1

Flexible Focusing Patterns
Use our flexible rules engine to define a wide variety of focusing patterns. These patterns can be used as part of the “in-sequence” auto focus routine (i.e. when temperature drops by 1 degree) or as a means to pause your sequence to force manual focus (via a focusing mask or other routine). Define patterns using time, frame intervals, temperature or filter changes.

Target Framing Made Easy
Use our powerful auto centering routines to find your target fast and start imaging! Ideal for multi-night imaging or even after meridian flips, we can get you back on track fast. Simply choose an image you want to center on (it can be your own or even something off the internet!) and with the click of a single button ask your mount to center itself and validate!

Center on Any Part of an Existing Image
With virtually any image that Sequence Generator Pro captures you can use the mouse to point to any area of interest and ask your mount to center itself there… with the click of a single button!

Create Complex Mosaic Sequences in Mere Minutes
With this tool you can plan complex mosaics in mere minutes and get to imaging quickly. Simply download the image that has your intended target (via the provided interface), rotate to find your camera angle, draw a square around the area of interest and start imaging (the tool will create a sequence for you). It’s really that easy… You can also use this tool for single frame images just to ensure that your camera angle is in the ideal position. The Framing and mosaic wizard is an SGPro add-on module.

Flat Frames Made Easy
Sequence Generator Pro offers a host of tools to make capture of flats calibration data a breeze! Use the calibration wizard to automatically determine the best exposure length for your gear and then, using the flats wizard, you can automatically add flat frames to your sequence.
