Dark Library

[fly800]

Hello,

Is there a way to copy dark frames from one camera to another? No sure why, I have two cameras to select from but they were always the same camera. The two selectable cameras are:

1. ZWO CCD ASI120MM Mini
2. ZWO ASI120MM Mini

Greatly appreciate a solution, but I really don't want restart the Dark Library process again.

With new releases of INDI, sometimes the camera names change. With ZWO, the name might change if you switch between indi_asi_ccd and indi_asi_single_ccd.

Copying the darks to a new camera is possible. Two possibilities:

1. Maintain darks for both cameras: You just need to copy the FITS files in /var/www/html/allsky/images/darks/ to new file names. The filenames do not really matter too much, just that they end with .fit or .fits. Once you copy the files, you can run ./misc/import_darks_frames.py to import the frames for the new camera name.

2. Move the darks to the new camera. You just need to know the camera ID of the old and new camera. It is probably 1 and 2, respectively. Run the sql:

    sqlite3 /var/lib/indi-allsky/indi-allsky.sqlite "UPDATE darkframe SET camera_id=2 WHERE camera_id=1;"
    
    sqlite3 /var/lib/indi-allsky/indi-allsky.sqlite "UPDATE badpixelmap SET camera_id=2 WHERE camera_id=1;"
   

You can find the camera IDs with the cameras view: https://hostname/indi-allsky/cameras

Great thanks. Works like a charm.
