apogee-control Code
Very simple utilite to manage Apogee cameras
Status: Beta
Brought to you by:

This utilite depends on library libapogee & C-wrapper over it
First, you should install a latest version of libapogee from directory "libapogee"
or from original site: http://www.randomfactory.com/downloads/
If you will meet a bug in link stage ("can't find -lboost_regex-mt") cd to directory
libapogee-[version]/apogee and run
$ sed -i 's/boost_regex-mt/boost_regex/g' Makefile
after this small fix cd .. and run make again.
Second, you should install apogee_C_wrapper (cd to this directory and do as README sais).
Third, install libsla.so (if using BTA module)
And install apogee_control itself:
1. mkdir mk && cd mk
2. cmake ..
3. make
4. [su -c "make install"] or just copy file apogee_control wherever you want
File bta_print.c needed to fill specific FITS keys for BTA telescope
If your want use this outside SAO RAS localnet, write:
2. cmake -DNOBTA=1 ..
If you wish to save not only FITS, define:
* -DUSERAW=1 to save raw data
* -DUSEPNG=1 to save png data
define
* -DEBUG=1 for debug info
By default observatory location is SAO RAS, to change coordinates define:
* -DTELLAT=lattitude in degr
* -DTELLONG=longitude in degr
* -DTELALT=altitude in m
* -DTELFOCUS=focal ratio of telescope in metres
user can store default headers in ~/apogee_hdrs.fits
user can give additional keys as command line parameters
to calculate simplest CDx_x coefficients user can give parameter ROT0:
- for left-handed system it shoud be less than 0 (-360..0)
CROTA2 = -ROT0 + PARANGLE - VAL_P
- for right-handed > 0 (0..360)
CROTA2 = ROT0 - PARANGLE + VAL_P
