here are two main use cases for it:

  • talk with existing pointing model kernels from Chimera (Bisque's TPoint, Astelco TSI, ...)
  • experiment with pointing model creation

additions:

  • chimera/util/pointing/pointing.py: generic interface for pointing models
  • chimera/util/pointing/tpoint.py: backend for tpoint (future)
  • chimera/util/pointing/astelco.py: backend for astelco (now!)
  • chimera/util/pointing/util.py: tool to generate pointing model target lists
  • chimera-pointing script: uses chimera.util.pointing.pointing
  • chimera/controllers/autopointingmodel.py: controller to create a new pointing model automatically. integrates with telescope, focuser, astrometry and pointing.

chimera-pointing

Interface for a telescope pointing model

Options:

chimera-pointing --version
chimera-pointing --help

chimera-pointing --list
    list current pointing model stars data
    #   AZ  ZD  OFFSET_AZ OFFSET_ZD
    X   X   X   X         X

chimera-pointing --calculate
    calculate the model using current data stored

chimera-pointing [--append|--overwrite] --load data-file.txt
    load current measurements from a file

chimera-pointing --save > data-file.txt
    save current measurements to a file

chimera-pointing --add --data az,zd,offset_az,offset_zd
    add given data to current model data

chimera-pointing --remove star#
    remove start data number #

chimera-pointing --clear
    remove all data from current model

chimera-pointing --info
    show current model coefficients

chimera-pointing --auto XXX
    start a new auto pointing session using given parameters (TBD)

Suggestion by @ankanaan: Mount model, not pointing model!
