Use computed field of view for constellations #157

Closed tammojan closed 1 year ago

tammojan commented 1 year ago

This should improve the drawing of constellations of wide-field trackstacks. Previously, a field of view of 90 degrees was hardcoded to prevent wrapping around the sphere. I hope @g7gpr can test this.

g7gpr commented 1 year ago

Testing now.

Why on this line are you only converting from_ra into an array, and not from_dec?

For no particular reason, apparently it worked also without the conversion :) I've added a commit to convert both into numpy arrays (they were both lists).

looking better - Orion has appeared! But something strange is happening to Phoenix? Not sure.

Still something odd going on - Lupus stops at Beta Lupus. However I think I know what is happening. In TrackStack, ang_sep is from the centre of the image, in DrawConstellations, it is the width of the image - analogous to radius / diameter. Running again but with the ang_sep multipled by 1.95.

Or rather, the middle platepar by time, might not be in the centre of the final projection.

Setting the angle to 175 degrees works pretty well.

Looking very good now. Thanks for all the work on this tool.
