Allow specification of bright star by coordinates in `autofocus` and `align_guidescope`
Closed this issue · 0 comments

Currently it's only possible to specify what bright star to use in autofocus
and align_guidescope
by providing the name of that star. This interface is not very flexible and there are some moderately bright stars that don't have common names. A challenge for these specific programs is that program arguments for the target must be passed from a parent process (e.g., autofocus
) to a subprocess (track
).
- Modify these programs such that it's possible to specify a star using either a common name or equatorial coordinates.
- Add an
enum.Flag
parameter totargets.add_program_arguments()
that allows the caller to pick a subset of the available target types.
