Declination negative #4

blancmatter commented 4 years ago

Pawel Zielinski submitted an observation using tom_lt on target Gaia19dmj.

The Telescope Observed a target at -23 degrees declination as opposed to +23 degrees.

The log was checked on ltproxy at /usr/local/tomcat/logs/catalina.out and the following RTML document had been sent, clearly showing a -ve degree value. This was also reflected in the Phase2 Gaia19dmj target.

probably from this? https://github.com/TOMToolkit/tom_lt/blob/169ce570aeba9bf80fd69850d29be33e07a61de9/tom_lt/lt.py#L165

Yes, the value of dec.signed-dms.sign is a numeric value not a string for an astropy coordinate object.

Now fixed in version 0.4.0
