Fantastic Leonardo! Grazie Mille! I am downloading it and may get a chance to test it tonight. I seem to recognise the Custom Horizon you used for your video :wink:

One question, does the Custom Horizon - when enabled - override the Hour Angle settings already in the RoboTarget Manager?

This is a wonderful release, Leo! Thank you for your hard work.

Best,

Custom Horizon is not a constraint that you can remove from RoboTarget, if you have enabled it in Voyager mount settings will be always applied. On plus all the constraints you select for the target must be satisfied at same time to make elegible a target.

Answering to your question , there isn’t any relation between HA e custom horizon so there isn’t override.

Hey Leonardo! Can you share more info about the format of the GENERIC horizon file? I have an Observer Pro app where I can extract my custom horizon as a PNG and the CSV with azimuth + elevation points.

Ok, got it to work by having such formatted file for Generic:

0;8
1;8
2;12
3;15
4;15
5;15
6;15
7;15
8;15

You can use also for generic (space separator):

0 8

Please explain more about, this is useful for a lot of user…

All the best

A new daily build exit for fix some problem with Horizon, please update:

Is custom horizon only for robotarget or is it in the base version. If so, how do you enable the custom file.
Thanks.

Custom horizon is available also in Base version but just like info draing in ephemeris target graph.

There is an iOS App called Observer PRO “User Guide — observer.pro” In that app you can create your artificial horizon and then, export it to CSV file. By changing/fixing the exported file numbers, you would be able to import it in Horizon feature.

How of interest, does the custom horizon impact Robostar choice. For example, Robostar could pick a star which is 1/2 degree away from current centre of target. Will the horizon ensure that the Star picked by Robostar is within the constraints of the new Horizon ?

Thank you

RoboStar are only under this constraints:
https://wiki.starkeeper.it/index.php/AutoFocus_Setup#RoboStar_General_Setting

RoboStar Automata always go at higher altitude of the target for definitions, in case of failure star will be switched to another higher.

All the best
Leonardo

Robostar Automata is part of advanced I guess ?
For base, if there is star failure, does it also go to higher altitude or to some other random location ?
Thank you

RoboStar is part of all.
Nothing is random in RoboStar, stars are ordered for meridian side, distance and altitude

All the best
