I’ve started work on the “real time photometric alert script”, I hope I can outrun T CrB … My plan is to have this run on a Raspberry Pi, using siril-cli (for stacking (say) 4 x 10 sec exposures (green channel), Source-extractor (for creating a catalog of detected stars and instrumental photometry), scamp for doing the astrometric solution and some custom scripts to check the photometric results for consistency and generate the actual trigger. We will see…
This is an interesting project, Heinz-Bernd. Keep us posted and if it works out perhaps you can write it up for the VSS Circular.
Good luck!
