See this Comm Center thread by Peter Prendergast and Dick Post. Research the professionals and determine if there are some existing FITS keywords being used for weather, and use them if possible. Alternatively, Diffraction has defined several BOLTxxx keywords for Boltwood data. but these names seem inappropriate, and waste 4 characters on a brand name. If necessary make up new FITS keywords. Determine what items should be put there. Based on the ASCOM discussion of weather standard, the FITS header could inflate into a weather data archive.

Restore writing ambient and CCD temps to FITS now that PinPoint 7 has the right keywords. Also write Observer, Observatory, Camera name, and Camera temperature to Bias and Dark frames if not already there from MaxIm.

PinPoint is being fixed so we can put the temperature settings back in for ACP 8.4. The link to the SGP docs show TEMPERAT being used as sensor temperature. So be it. AMBTEMP for ambient air temperature, which after all is the field name in the original John Smith specs.

Remove FITS code setting Plate.Temperature which is incorrectly mapped to ambient temperature not CCD temperature. Will correct PinPoint separately.
GEM:1172

 

REOPENED




See this Comm Center thred by Bernard Miller. Looks like my PinPoint Plate.Temperature -> TEMPERAT is turning out to be conflicting. CCDStack and Sequence Generator Pro are using this as the CCD Temperature. I gave him a patch to AcquireSupport to remove the line that sets Plate.Temperture -> TEMPERAT in his FITS. 



This should probably be removed anyway, and check to see if PinPoint's Plate.CCDTemperature -> CCD_TEMP with an underscore is used and get rid of that too!



Separately the PinPoint mapped properties should be corrected.

Fixes to FITS fields for weather.
GEM:1172

 

Using PinPoint mapped properties, add TEMPERAT and PRESSURE, use PinPoint mapped property for HUMIDITY.

REOPENED



Geoff Stone (via email) found some issues with the weather FITS. 


    
All values integer. I decided to add one decimal digit to the temperatures
    
Humidity always 1. I forgot to multiply the ACP-internal RH by 100 before writing with no decimal digits.

Also I noted a cut-n-paste error on WXSENSOR where it is being written with WriteFITSDouble() which will fail, and thus it looks like "not implemented" amnd simply doesn't appear in FITS.

More Fields, fix ST to be for start of exposure.
GEM:1172

 

REOPENED - See this Comm Center thread by Andre Ioda. I think OBJCTAZ, OBJCTALT, and OBJCTHA but maybe CENTAZ and CENTALT. CCDInspector?



[edit] - moved to a new thread.

Add SkyTemperature into weather API and servers, documentation. Add FITS headers for weather into AcquireSupport.wsc
GEM:1172

 

REQUIRES ADDING SKYTEMP TO ACP WEATHER SERVER INTERFACE.

AMBTEMP - (outdoor) ambient temperature, deg. C

HUMIDITY - relative humidity, %

DEWPOINT - dewpoint, deg C

WINDSPD - wind speed, Kts (units could be argued incessantly and I really don't care)

WINDDIR - wind direction, from, compass azimuth, deg. (for people with domes and optimized clamshells)

SKYTEMP - sky temperature, deg. C

WXSENSOR - name of weather sensor from which the above were obtained

On 11/5/14 John Smith and I negotiated a list of key words (the email thread is attached).

Bumped the priority, this should be in the next release.
