+ | This tutorial describes how to add and execute observations of minor planet. You will need rts2-newtarget, | ||
+ | ===== Enter MPC coordinates to database ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Run rts2-newtarget. When it asks for Target name, enter MPC one line ephemeris. You can obtain this from [[http:// | ||

+ | 00008 6.49 0.28 K096I 188.38876 | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then select s to save target, enter or leave empty target ID (if you leave it empty, system will assign you new one), and desired target name. The whole conversation is provided bellow. //Hint: under Linux, mark text with mouse, holding left button. Then release it to console with rts2-newtarget with click on right mouse button.// | ||

+ | ===== Setting observation strategy - creating a script ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | To show some advanced scripting features, suppose that you want to get window from CCD, begging at coordinates x=200 y=100, with width=500 and height=550 (e.g. bottom corner will be at position 700, 650). And you would like to get R band exposures, with R-band filter. You would like to get 20 120 seconds exposures. The script will then look: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | filter=R WINDOW=(200, | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please note that spaces **are** important, and you need to leave spaces around curved brackets. You will use rts2-target for the task of setting script on target 5000 and camera C0, as described bellow: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | host:> rts2-target -c C0 -s ' | ||
+ | host:> | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can verify that script was successfully set with rts2-targetinfo. Example output is bellow: | ||
+ | |||

+ | Script for camera C0:' | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can change script whenever you wish, even during observations. RTS2 will update script at script end (more on that later), so update will be propagated to next observation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Executing observations ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here will be show how to execute observation in rts2-mon, using manual queuing of observations. Run rts2-mon and make sure that system is in on state. Also make sure that either selector is not present, or it is disabled. Using arrow keys, select EXEC element. Enter next 5000, followed with enter. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 5000 is of course target ID, if you have assigned other ID, please change this number. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Checking observation progress ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can check observation progress on telescope (T0) and camera (C0) component. Using arrow keys, select T0 component. It shall show " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Camera component should show exposing and non-exposing states. Please see [[howto: |
