Observational Remote Procedures used at CEAMIG-REA – I77 C. Jacques
5
Wykrota Observatory - CEAMIG - 859
6
Ceamig-Rea Observatory – I77
7
Equipment – Software LX200 – 12 inch CCD - ST7 XME and optec 0.33 reductor Telephoto lens – 70-200mm CCD – ST-402 Robofocus
8
Software ACP 4.2 Maxim – 4.53 FocusMax
21
Observatory Control - Hardware Project based on microprocessor PSoC from Cypress Serial port control, protocol based Controls: –12 generic switches (10A, 250V) –4 on/off contacts (rolloff closed/opened, etc) –4 analog inputs (temperature, humidity, rain sensor, etc)
22
Observatory Control – Software Microsoft.NET library (DLL) with COM (ActiveX) and.NET interface Developed in C# Event based or Pooled control
27
Observatory Control - Hardware LCD Display (for debugging) Humidity Sensor Serial Port PSoC Microcontroller Programming/Power (for debugging) Potenciometer (analog simmulation) Temperature Sensor LEDs (load switch simmulation) Switch (contact simmulation)
28
TAO – Tools for Automated Observers Astrometry of solar system objects (including confirmation of new NEO candidates listed on the NEO Confirmation Page and follow-up and recovery of minor planets and comets) Searches for new solar system objects Photometry of minor planets, comets, variable stars, etc. Supernova searches Nova searches Follow-up of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs)
29
System requirements ACP + Maxim + Pinpoint The Sky + CCDSoft + Orchestrate The author can develop a special version of TAO image acquisition script for another set of programs
30
Initializing TAO Modeling slew times Measuring camera download times Specifying filter numbers and names Modeling the local horizon Creating user profiles Create Target databases
31
Image cycle time
32
Modeling telescope and dome slew time
33
Modeling the Horizon
34
Creating users Profiles
35
Create Object Databases
36
TAO Components Scheduler Image acquisition Script Tools for creating and maintaining Target databases
37
Creating and Maintaining Target databases
38
Automated ephemeris update Download of new ephemerides for objects whose orbits have been updated since the time when their most recent ephemerides were downloaded. Download of new ephemerides to replace expired ones. Download of ephemerides for newly discovered unusual minor planets and comets.unusual minor planetscomets Download of ephemerides for known unusual minor planets and comets which have become observable since the last update of the moving object database.unusual minor planetscomets Customizing ephemeris update
