ASTAP vs DSS

When your imaging with a mobile setup and disassemble the setup at the end of each night it could be better to take flats each night.

I could modify ASTAP to look for all compatible flats in the flat tab. If two compatible flats are found (same dimensions, and filter if selected), take the flat with the closest date. That would not require an new menu option and will work automatically. The user  has just to add the flats to the flat tab.

At the moment it just takes the first flat found. Same action could be applied for darks.

Hi Han, thanks for all your hard work. I'm starting to use ASTAP instead of maxim to do my stacking because I'm trying to debug where my image calibration is going wrong. I find the log information really useful. And now that you seem to be configuring it to select the most appropriate flat/dark based on date and filter& exposure, the functionality is at parity with my version of maxim at least. 

Cheers!
