Long Pointing Models aquisition
Ecam Pointng Model
This should be run when the sky transparency is clear so that the stars are detected and there is no pointing restriction due to wind so that the whole sky is available. The conditions on seeing are very lax.
At the operational level, one needs
- to be observing in ECAM mode (Xrunall);
- EDP should be in "Mode Automatique".
- the last exposure has to be a standard ECAM exposure (fetch star with RA~LST from e.g. ../../chazelas/Etoiles_brillantes.rdb);
- there should be no OBs after this last executed one;
- click on the last exposure for selecting it.
Under these conditions, select the last exposure on the EDP and do not to touch it until the alignment sequence is finished.
We will use a python script that will send OBs to the EDP to produce a regular grid on the sky. In a terminal type (as user remote)
bash
cd ~/test
To run the script :
$T4PYTHON ecam_long_pointing_model_acquisition.py
It is important while this is running not to touch or select things in the EDP. The script should send images sequentially to the EDP.
If a window "ATTENTION: Arrêt de l'observation" is displayed, do not click it; ignore it for the whole acquisition.
it will be complete after 44 obs
Coralie Pointing Model
1) As user remote create a directory to put the fits files of the images. This directory has to have the the right for any user to write into
mkdir /home/remote/test/coralie_model_2024-01-10
chmod 777 /home/remote/test/coralie_model_2024-01-10
2) then connect as the user euler in an other terminal :
ssh euler@glslogin01
3) To run the script :
cd /opt/soft/src/command-line-scripts
python coralie_pointing_model_acquisition.py /home/remote/test/coralie_model_2024-01-10 45
