My AstroImaging Planner

AstroGabe · March 29, 2021, 4:17am

The latest version v0.4.0 is available! Lots of new changes in this release, including:

Changed the way targets and stored data are matched. No longer need specific target group or filename. Matching is now done via RA/DEC matchup and frame overlap
Added ability to update location data via map
Add timezone support
Added light pollution data that updates with location change
Added labels for scatter points in frame inspector tab to distinguish multiple targets
General format/UI changes
Bug fixes
Added tracking of moved/removed subframe files
Added/updated documentation
Added Help tab

There’s a new Readme to walk through installation and usage.

@gboyle this newest version should work for you. If you find it’s not working out, please let me know.

I hope is ok to check in here and not deemed off topic but the i try to install docker (and bearing in mind i dont know what that is…) i get a message saying that the wsl 2 instal is incomplete and inviting me to install linux kernel updates which is throwing me off altogether… do i need to do this stuff or do i ignore this wsl2 stuff?

gboyle · March 30, 2021, 7:03pm

Hi Gabe
i’m afraid i am still a numpty.
first off is this docker/linux kernel stuff - clueless on that
next up i know where my image data is but can’t see a folder choice option for roboclip stuff.
…so when i tried the 8050 thing it looked at me like i was clueless…
if there is any chance you could jump on and sort it i would more than buy you a coffee!!!
cheers

Any chance you can turn this into a full automated solution that images objects based on priority?
Tim Hutchison showed a nice program he built for his observatory to do this on the astroimaging channel.
You might jump on you tube to have a look.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve been meaning to watch that video. I do have on my roadmap some ways to set a target’s priority and have an auto-suggested sequence based on that priority, goals and local light pollution (moon, nearby cities, etc.)

Hi Gabe,

Thanks a lot! BTW if I want to upgrade (from 0.4.0 to 0.4.1), do I just need to run the “update-app.bat” and it will bring me to the latest version, or do I need to delete the 040 version in Docker, download the new folder, and re-run “run-app.bat”?

AstroGabe · April 25, 2021, 6:34pm

Yizhou, yes, you can do the following:

Stop currently running containers in the docker dashboard UI
Run the update-app.bat file to pull down the latest image.
Resume in the UI by hitting the Play button, or you can re-run the run-app.bat file.

Hi Gabe,

This planner seems a nifty solution and with auto-sequence generator we can have an automated imaging session manager. Looking forward to the progress and new features.

Best regards,
Satwant

Scott_Astroman · May 29, 2021, 2:31pm

Hi Gabe, I have downloaded and installed. Like many others news to Docker. Code is running but localhost:8050 is not working and planner keeps exiting with code 1.

Any suggestions?

Cheers Scott

calberts · May 29, 2021, 2:44pm

update
solved this by redeploying the docker code

Hi Gabe,

I just updated to the latest version and I am experiencing the same issues as Scott.

Cheers,

Jose

AstroGabe · May 30, 2021, 6:11pm

Thanks for letting me know guys. I’ll take a look. Would you mind sending me the logs? The file I’m looking for is logs/planner.log.

Gabe

Jose_Mtanous · May 30, 2021, 7:14pm

Hi, the planner.log file only contains one entry:

2021-05-30 19:12:31,712 INFO data_merge Index(['OBJECT', 'TARGET', 'Instrument', 'Focal Length', 'Binning', 'GROUP',
   'NOTE', 'RAJ2000', 'DECJ2000'],
  dtype='object', name='FILTER')

AstroGabe · May 31, 2021, 3:50am

Thanks @Jose_Mtanous for sending the logs. Unfortunately, the logs aren’t too helpful right now. I’ve added additional logging and error handling on the dev image. Please change the app version entry in the conf/env.conf file to:

# app version (e.g. latest, version-0.3.3, etc.)
APP_VERSION=dev

This will pull from the development docker image. Then run update-app.bat, and rerun the run-app.bat file. Please send me the logs with this version.

Thanks!
Gabe

Jose_Mtanous · May 31, 2021, 4:43am

Hi Gabe,

The log file is attached, it has more information now.

FWIW: On the env.conf I changed:

APP_VERSION=dev

And in update-app.bat I changed:

docker pull gshau/astroimaging-planner:dev

Cheers,

Jose

Gabe,

Ran with Dev after second try. Locked up, but did manage to open localhost and get some response. Unfortunately, I can’t upload the log because I am a new user.

one error message from inside localhost was:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pandas/core/indexes/base.py”, line 2895, in get_loc

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
