No "Orientation" in API? #5

Closed kevinalle closed 11 years ago

kevinalle commented 11 years ago

Hi, I am using the nova API and I am getting good RA, DEC and RADIUS results from the job calibration (/api/jobs/JOBID/calibration). Now, in the dashboard's calibration I also see "orientation" and "pixel scale". Is it possible to get this data from the API? Thank you!!

Thanks for filing this issue! I just added those result fields to our development site: http://supernova.astrometry.net

Please feel free to test/use that.

And I will update "nova" as soon as I finish running a backup cycle.

Dustin Thanks a LOT! that is relly helpful :) I also found a workaround: I download the wcs.fits header (this is not actually the API but is easily accessible through http://nova.astrometry.net/wcs_file/JOBID) and from there I get CRPIX1, CRPIX2, CRVAL1, CRVAL2,and the CD matrix, which is exactly what I need. Thanks again!
