Properties

Name Type Description
id Integer No description
observation_id Integer No description
tracking_mode Enum(sidereal, target) No description
dither_strategy Enum(none, grid, snake, spiral, cross, jitter) The strategy used for dithering during observations. If set to 'none', no dithering is applied.
dither_step_size Float (Optional) The step size in degrees for dithering. Used when dither_strategy is not 'none'.
dither_steps Integer (Optional) The number of steps in the dithering pattern. Used when dither_strategy is not 'none'.
dither_position_angle Float (Optional) Rotation angle of the dithering pattern in degrees. Used when dither_strategy is not 'none'.
recentering_threshold Float (Optional) Maximum allowed displacement of the target from the center of the camera sensor while tracking, expressed as a percentage of the half-size of the sensor's dimensions. This value defines the threshold for triggering the recentering of the target within the sensor's field of view, ensuring the target remains optimally positioned for tracking and imaging.
temporal_offset Float The number of seconds from the current time when the target's position should be calculated. This parameter allows for predictive adjustments to the telescope's pointing based on the target's future or past position.
position_offset_x_deg Float Tangent-plane east offset in degrees from the target position.
position_offset_y_deg Float Tangent-plane north offset in degrees from the target position.
position_offset_frame Enum(icrs_tangent, gcrs_tangent, altaz_tangent, body_fixed) Coordinate frame whose local tangent axes define position_offset_x_deg/y_deg.
position_offset_reference_time DateTime (Optional) Epoch at which frame-dependent position offsets are applied. NULL means evaluate at sample time.
field_locked_on DateTime (Optional) No description
min_fov_x Float (Optional) Minimum field of view X size in arcminutes.
min_fov_y Float (Optional) Minimum field of view Y size in arcminutes.
position_angle Float (Optional) Rotation angle of the field of view X axis with respect to RA axis in degrees.
min_pixel_scale Float (Optional) Minimum pixel scale in arcseconds per pixel.
max_pixel_scale Float (Optional) Maximum pixel scale in arcseconds per pixel.
max_tiles Integer No description
tile_overlap Float No description
min_elevation Float (Optional) Minimum allowed target elevation in degrees. Target must rise above this elevation before observation requests can be completed.
max_elevation Float (Optional) Maximum allowed target elevation in degrees. Target must set below this elevation before observation requests can be completed.
min_sun_elevation Float (Optional) Minimum allowed sun elevation in degrees. Sun must rise above this elevation before observation requests can be completed.
max_sun_elevation Float (Optional) Maximum allowed sun elevation in degrees. Sun must set below this elevation before observation requests can be completed.
min_moon_separation Float (Optional) No description
min_moon_phase Float (Optional) Lower bound on the moon's illuminated fraction (0..1). Combines with max_moon_phase to define a phase window.
max_moon_phase Float (Optional) No description
lunar_phase_direction Enum(any, waxing, waning) (Optional) Restrict scheduling to a specific side of the lunar cycle. NULL behaves like 'any' — no direction filter.
saturation_level Float The fraction of full-well capacity at which the sensor should be considered saturated.
