| repointing_strategy |
Enum(lock, fov_threshold) |
How a moving target's drift through the field is handled while imaging: 'lock' freezes the first-exposure coordinate (the target drifts through the FOV), 'fov_threshold' recenters once drift exceeds recentering_threshold. A no-op for a fixed sidereal target (no drift). |
| 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_deg |
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_deg |
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. Default 50% (recenter once the target has drifted halfway to a sensor edge), which keeps recenters infrequent relative to a typical exposure. |
| temporal_offset_sec |
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. |
| field_locked_on |
DateTime (Optional) |

| min_fov_x_arcmin |
Float (Optional) |
Minimum field of view X size in arcminutes. |
| min_fov_y_arcmin |
Float (Optional) |
Minimum field of view Y size in arcminutes. |
| position_angle_deg |
Float (Optional) |
Rotation angle of the field of view X axis with respect to RA axis in degrees. |
| min_pixel_scale_arcsec_per_px |
Float (Optional) |
Minimum pixel scale in arcseconds per pixel. |
| max_pixel_scale_arcsec_per_px |
Float (Optional) |
Maximum pixel scale in arcseconds per pixel. |

| min_elevation_deg |
Float (Optional) |
Minimum allowed target elevation in degrees. Target must rise above this elevation before observation requests can be completed. |
| max_elevation_deg |
Float (Optional) |
Maximum allowed target elevation in degrees. Target must set below this elevation before observation requests can be completed. |
| min_sun_elevation_deg |
Float (Optional) |
Minimum allowed sun elevation in degrees. Sun must rise above this elevation before observation requests can be completed. |
| max_sun_elevation_deg |
Float (Optional) |
Maximum allowed sun elevation in degrees. Sun must set below this elevation before observation requests can be completed. |
| min_moon_separation_deg |
Float (Optional) |
No description |
| min_moon_phase_fraction |
Float (Optional) |
Lower bound on the moon's illuminated fraction (0..1). Combines with max_moon_phase_fraction to define a phase window. |
| max_moon_phase_fraction |
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_fraction |
Float |
The fraction of full-well capacity at which the sensor should be considered saturated. |
| brightness_model_id |
Integer (Optional) |
Brightness model used to size exposures so the target's signal is well above the noise floor. |
| saturation_model_id |
Integer (Optional) |
Saturation cap — exposure times are limited so sources at or below this brightness don't saturate the detector. |
