Add more day/night options

[jimjackii]

At the moment, at the end of the night shots
the script "endOfNight.sh" is called with "endOfNight_additionalSteps.sh". This means that adjustments to the post-processing of the images and other useful things can be done without recompiling capture.cpp.

Unfortunately, there is usually no such thing at the end of the day's recordings.

Would it be possible to implement such an extension? -
Calling a script "endOfDay.sh" at the end of the day recordings.

The background would be, for example, the adjustment of automatic / manual exposure as well as AWB / manual WB separately for day / night mode. If you would switch the config file "/etc/raspap/settings_RPiHQ.json", which would then be activated by restarting the AllSky service would be read and applied.

@jimjackii if what you want to do in this script is to change some settings, I think it would be better to simply have separate day and night values, like we have for "exposure" and others. We already plan to make more settings have both day and night versions.

Look at the settings_ZWO.json file for an example.

@EricClaeys
That sounds good with the separate values ​​for day and night.

I looked at the "settings_ZWO.json" file - that would be nice, but there are no separate settings for day / night for WB / AWB, as far as I can see?

[EricClaeys]

@jimjackii Neither camera currently has separate day/night AWB setting, but the ZWO has more day/night settings than the RPiHQ. That will eventually change.

Closing Discussion. Separate daytime and nighttime AWB settings exist in v2024.12.06, due out on December 6, 2024.
