Detailed Description

Ekos::Align interface provides advanced scripting capabilities to solve images using online or offline astrometry.net.

Function Documentation

abort()

Q_SCRIPTABLE Q_NOREPLY void Ekos::Align::abort ( )

inline

DBUS interface function.

Aborts the solving operation, handle outside of the align module.

Definition at line 403 of file align.h.

captureAndSolve()

bool Ekos::Align::captureAndSolve ( bool initialCall = true )

DBUS interface function.

Capture and solve an image using the astrometry.net engine

Returns

Returns true if the procedure started successful, false otherwise (return true, not false, when retrying!)

Definition at line 1416 of file align.cpp.

getTargetCoords()

QList< double > Ekos::Align::getTargetCoords ( )

getTargetCoords QList of target coordinates.

Returns

First value is J2000 RA in hours. Second value is J2000 DE in degrees.

Definition at line 3827 of file align.cpp.

loadAndSlew()

bool Ekos::Align::loadAndSlew ( QString fileURL = QString() )

DBUS interface function.

Loads an image (FITS, RAW, or JPG/PNG) and solve its coordinates, then it slews to the solved coordinates and an image is captured and solved to ensure the telescope is pointing to the same coordinates of the image.

Parameters

fileURL

URL to the image to solve

Definition at line 3038 of file align.cpp.

setBinningIndex()

void Ekos::Align::setBinningIndex ( int binIndex )

DBUS interface function.

Sets the binning of the selected CCD device.

Parameters

binIndex

Index of binning value. Default values range from 0 (binning 1x1) to 3 (binning 4x4)

Definition at line 3114 of file align.cpp.

setSolverMode()

void Ekos::Align::setSolverMode ( int mode )

DBUS interface function.

Select the solver mode

Parameters

type	Set solver type. 0 LOCAL, 1 REMOTE (requires remote astrometry driver to be activated)

Definition at line 561 of file align.cpp.

setTarget()

void Ekos::Align::setTarget ( const SkyPoint & targetCoord )

Set the alignment target where the mount is expected to point at.

Parameters

targetCoord

exact coordinates of the target position.

Definition at line 3820 of file align.cpp.

setTargetCoords()

void Ekos::Align::setTargetCoords ( double ra0,
double de0 )

DBUS interface function.

Sets the target coordinates that the solver compares the solution coordinates to. By default, the target coordinates are those of the current mount when the capture and solve operation is started. In case of SYNC, only the error between the solution and target coordinates is calculated. When Slew to Target is selected, the mount would be slewed afterwards to this target coordinate.

Parameters

ra0	J2000 Right Ascension in hours.
de0	J2000 Declination in degrees.

Definition at line 3811 of file align.cpp.

setTargetPositionAngle()

void Ekos::Align::setTargetPositionAngle ( double value )

Definition at line 3832 of file align.cpp.

setTelescopeCoordinates()

void Ekos::Align::setTelescopeCoordinates ( const SkyPoint & position )

inline

Set the coordinates that the mount reports as its position.

Parameters

position

current mount position

Definition at line 463 of file align.h.

stop()

void Ekos::Align::stop ( Ekos::AlignState mode )

Stop aligning.

Parameters

mode	stop mode (abort or suspend)

Definition at line 2534 of file align.cpp.

suspend()

void Ekos::Align::suspend ( )

inline

Suspend aligning, recovery handled by the align module itself.

Definition at line 411 of file align.h.
