Voyager 2.2.5 Release + WebDashboard 1.0.8beta

[Voyager]

[Daily Build] Voyager 2.2.4n version ready and ... Merry Christmas to all!

Hi Leo, A quick note on export to csv from Astroplanner. If you don’t want to export the whole planner first select the object rows you would like to export. With reference to the screen shot. [AstroPlanner Export] Go to File – Export – Generic Text Excel XML or JSON This will open an export window Select the Fields you want to export in the Field Definitions section. For Voyager make sure to change the RA and Dec Format from default to HH MM SS.S and DD MM SS. In Text Format use the S…

Hi Nigel,
Does my original post fully answer your question? If not get back.

Cheers
Allan.

Hi all, the focus panel is almost done, will be included in the WebDashboard 1.0.9.

Yes thank you. I now have it working.

Thank you. I look forward to using it.
Great work on the Dashboard.

I’ve migrated all 272 targets in my database to ROBOCLIP and framed them in the Virtual FOV. Works great! I really appreciate how fast it loads the image and the brightness slider that helps identify fainter elements of the target to frame it better. About halfway through it became unresponsive, but closing my browser and reopening it fixed the problem. I suspect the problem was on my computer’s end and not Voyager’s.

I went through about 1,500 targets and picked 272 that are sufficiently above my horizon at N36 and sufficiently pleasing enough to look at without being too large or too small for my setup that runs at 540mm or 1480mm focal length (C925 w/ Hyperstar or a f/6.3 reducer). They’re organized into four groups LRGB or SHO at each focal length. Additionally, I have notes for each of them describing them by their common name (if available) or what they are w/ a # that coincides w/ how appealing the final image would be in my opinion on a scale of 1 to 4.

I can share the database if anyone is interested.

I think memory consume is the problem with all the image loaded
Thanks for you offer to sharing you database, really appreciated.

All the best

My database is in a new thread here:

My ROBOCLIP Database (272 targets)

My databse is here: Copy it to your ~/Documents/Voyager/Data folder. It will override your copy, so you may want to back that up first if you have any data in it. My gear is a C925 w/ Hyperstar (540mm f/2.3) -or- Reducer (1480mm f/6.3). I use an ASI1600MM for a camera. All 272 targets in my database are framed for one of those two setups with that camera. There are four groups in the databse, one for each focal length using LRGB broadband and SHO narroband each. The notes describe the target…

(I created a new thread because I suspect it might derail this one)

Just wondering if there was a way to disable the ‘animation’ ? I won’t be able to use it otherwise. Thank You!

Where does the FoV module get the camera info (pixel size, sensor dimensions) when using the Sky X Camera Add-on? It’s not getting that info when just connecting with the Planetarium

[Francescodb]

Hello Wayne,
the camera info are taken from Voyager settings and not from other software, even if you use it as camera acquisition.

If you have trouble, please write an email for support.

Hi Martin,
if you refer to logo animation, it’s very important because it is the major indicator of the activity status of Voyager. Does it create problems of functioning or just preference?
Let us know, thanks.
Francesco

[Wayne_Hixson]

Thanks! I’ll check on that.

Hi Francesco,

My 2 cetns on this topic, I understand that the animation is dynamic and provides important info, however it is very distracting and I cannot keep my eyes away from it. What I am doing right now is to block it using adblock but that is far from optimal.

Cheers,

José

[Francescodb]

Hi Josè,
in the next few days we will release a new version of WebDashboard with an option setting for Logo animation.
I suggest to not use workaround that stops part of running code, this could be cause of severe errors.

The camera pixel size setting is right but pixel count settings settings are grayed out for me and set at 0.

[Voyager]

Have you connected the setup ?

[Wayne_Hixson]

OK I created a minimal profile with camera only a nd It does work when the camera is connected, either in Voyager or TSX Camera Add-on. Thanks! Is there any way that information can be stored in the profile so we can use the viewer without connection?

Thanks again, Wayne

[Voyager]

Just connect the first time to store data in profile.
