Adding CAHA #11

Closed PVikii closed 1 year ago

PVikii commented 1 year ago

I attempted to implement CAHA for the Visplot.

The new implementations are adding the telescope profile into the config.js, including the image of the CAHA 2.2 telescope into the image folder and adding the skycam camera to the visplot skygraph.js and skycam.php

The telescope and limits were added to the config file based on the equation used for the INT. However, the test runs proved that the calculations in few cases are incorrect for the CAHA this will need further examination.

Added the CAHA skycam, which is available only after NAU twilight. The camera provides good images of the sky during dark time but when the moon is on sky the background level is too high. The camera image is smaller than the other camera sizes therefore the size and location and orientation of the SkyGraph was adjusted.
