Version 2 (modified by chevo, 8 years ago) (diff)

--

New: On the trajectory panel in the RA/Dec offset hand paddle control we now display the cumulative offets in RA and DEC. This counter can be reset using a button under the display at any time. This does not move the telescope, it just zeros the counter.

Making offsets using Makers on the cameras

There are a number of different keyboard and mouse moves to create different types of markers.

  • Alt + left mouse click - set a marker (to make the marker the fiducial you must hit "Set Fiducial" on the Camera window)
  • left mouse drag - set a box (to make the box a guide box you must hit the "Set Guide Box" on the Camera window)
  • Shift + left mouse drag - set a manual centroid around a single star (blue guide box and centroid appear)
  • Middle mouse click - center image
  • Scroll wheel on mouse - zoom in and out
  • Shift + right mouse click - select marker
  • Ctrl + right mouse click - move to marker
  • Alt + right mouse click - move to fiducial

To move from one location to another

  • Alt + left mouse click - set a marker
  • put a manual centroid (blue box) around the target star
  • left mouse drag - set a blue guide box and centroid
  • Alt + right mouse click on the target marker
  • This brings up a menu box allowing you to select telescope or probe motion
  • Click 'OK' to move or 'Cancel'
  • wait for the motion to occur
