Hello everyone. I'm pleased to announce that I just released a new plugin for NINA: SMART FILTERSWhat does it do?- Smart Filters helps you define your exposure time distribution across filters (L, R, G, B, Ha, SII, OIII) based on your session goals.
- It automatically calculates the optimal number of frames for each filter, taking into account session overheads like autofocus, meridian flip, dithering, and already acquired frames from previous nights.
- You can also save and load custom profiles to easily plan future sessions, and presets are already available.
To help figure it out, you can magine this scenario: - You've already captured 3h12 of L, 2h28 of R, nothing yet for G and B, and 39 minutes of Ha on previous nights.
- Tonight, you want to end up with 40% L and 15% Ha in your final dataset.
- You also decided to change your sub exposure times, and you know you'll have a meridian flip, autofocus routines, and dithering during the night...
Smart Filters takes all of this into account and computes the optimal plan for you automatically. So, don't hesitate to give it a try and leave me a comment! Further improvements are in development: – Automatically export the results to the Advanced Sequencer – Scan NINA's logs to automatically extract the duration of dithers, flips, autofocuses, etc., from previous sessions to provide even more accurate estimations.  |

Thank you very much for this plugin that I will try as soon as the sky gives me the opportunity.
On the other hand, I'm not sure it will meet my needs because my filters are L-PRO; UV_IRCUT, triband, HaOIII, SII-OIII.

You can of course consider that the L is your L-pro, DualBand, OIII, or whatsoever
I can also think about a version where you might give a specific name to the filters

Quickly read the user guide. I use the target scheduler plugin, but this seems like an attractive alternative when you want to collect a couple of nights of data for a specific target. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for developing.

[pre]An evolution that could also help would be to automatically propose exposure times in % by filters depending on the type of nebula. For example, for a dark nebula, the plugin would propose 20% HII, 40% OIII, etc.[/pre]

Yes, for sure .
For the time, you already have presets available .
These presets are explained in the user guide .
There are :
- a standard LRGB
- a LRGB "sharp", to prioritize L
-a LRGB "POP", to emphasise colors
- a standard L RGB Ha
- a couple more …
You can also make your own presets, name it and save it . Doing this, the advantage is that they will recall you sub exposure time, whereas for the factory presets, I can't guess what they will be .
If you have distributions to suggest, of course I can include them in the factory presets .

Sounds like a very useful tool. However, I'm not seeing it in the NINA plugins repository…should it be there?

Not yet; I'll try that in a day or two. OK, latest version of NINA is installed and now the Smart Filters plugin is available and has been successfully downloaded. Now I just need to play with it...

A new version is available, just a fix of minor bugs ( keywords were added inadvertently, due tu base plugin template inherited code )
