Check-in comment Several issues with ATLAS lookup including a sneaky edge condition. GEM:1568
4/19/2021 2:19:30 PM   Bob Denny
Several days looking for edge condition on a 15' x 15' DSS image of M04 from Salvo Massaro (Ricerca author) by email. Eventually decided to include rectangular search option and try it.

Check-in comment The catalog checker now has the ability to check each ATLAS magnitude band separately. This is in response to the new logic where the Max/Min mag properties afect what needs to be there. See the help info. GEM:1568

Check-in comment Add support for the 18-19 and 19-20 mag bands. Make it OK to have missing bands if (a) CatalogMaximumMagnitude never having been set, or (b) if CatalogMaximumMagnitude does ot include the missing bands. If it does encompass a band then the band's files must be there or you get an error. GEM:1568

Test with all 5 available mag bands. Allow fainter bands to be missing if specified CatalogMaximumMagnitude does not require their presence or if it has not been set at all.

Check-in comment Fix Atlas catalog lookup magnitude limiting and also calculation of the star search region. The CatMagLimits test uncovered both problems. GEM:1568
3/31/2021 11:41:47 AM   Bob Denny
ATLAS Failed CatalogMaximumMagnitude/MinimumMagnitude regression test "CatMagLimits" in the process of looking at  the ACP-1004 issue. This test now uses ATLAS. Need to match the "Magnitude" property with the magnitude that is tested for CatMax and CatMin. May not be able to use a calculated "Magnitude"

Check-in comment Checkpoint, still getting stuck in triangles() on large / wide field test image. GEM:1568
3/9/2021 4:03:25 PM   Bob Denny
Problem: 

The large field file D:\dev\astro\pinpoint\TransformTest\AdamTest.fit (write locked to prevent solution info from being writte0, 1.75 "/pix) won't solve with ATLAS, yet solves quickly with UCAC4, GSC, and A2.0. Something ain't right with the catalog star positions.

It's going to be ATLAS-REFCAT2.

2/7/2021 6:40:25 PM   Bob Denny
Or maybe Las Cumbres "de-fluffed" Gaia catalog. The ATLAS one says it's 64800 flat files or a SQL database.

I amended this for ATLAS/PanSTARRS.
6/18/2018 4:26:24 PM   Bob Denny
Gaia DR2 is available. The community is moving in that direction. Up the priority to High now.
