Fixed

  • The editor's list of frames now shows what the series said about each
    one.
    The light curve marked a frame whose measurement the series had thrown
    away while the list of frames showed nothing wrong, so an observer looking at
    an empty chart and a spotless strip of frames could only conclude that his
    data were bad: on the night this was reported 338 of 379 frames carried a
    flag and the strip said nothing at all
    . The list marks them now with the
    same classification the curve reads (core/series_measure): a data flag
    (nonlinear, cloud, seeing, a cosmic ray, a frame that could not be aligned)
    makes the frame a problem and the "only problems" filter keeps it; a caveat
    (a thin comparison set) is a note and never hides a frame. The mark names the
    flag and explains it in the tooltip, and the border wears the colour the
    measurement deserves: the same grammar the curve and the measurement panel
    already share.

Downloads

  • NightScribeSetup-0.1.3.exe: Windows installer (per-user, no admin rights needed).
  • NightScribe-0.1.3-windows-x64.zip: Windows portable build; unzip and run nightscribe.exe gui.
  • nightscribe_0.1.3_amd64.deb: Debian 13+ / Ubuntu 25.10+ (system Python; includes Find_Orb).
  • nightscribe-*.x86_64.rpm: Fedora 42+ / openSUSE Tumbleweed (system Python; includes Find_Orb).

Windows can stop the installer in two different ways, and only one has a way through. SmartScreen shows Windows protected your PC and offers More info -> Run anyway. Smart App Control (Windows 11, on by default on new installations) blocks unsigned code outright, with no such option: either turn it off under Windows Security > App & browser control > Smart App Control, or run NightScribe on another machine. The binaries are unsigned because NightScribe is free software and has no code signing certificate; the details are in docs/user/01-getting-started. Other distros (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, ...) install manually: see docs/ASTROMETRY.

On Linux, installing the .deb from your Downloads folder can print an apt note about the sandbox user (permission denied, read as root instead): it is harmless and the install finishes.

The NINA/PINS integration is in test: it is there to be tried and to report what is missing, and the rest is planned for 0.2. CCDciel is the complete observatory backend today.
