Batch process for tilt image inspection??

[Gert]

Hello,

I am not sure this is already covered. If not maybe it is a proposal for a future enhancement.

The 'Image Inspection' -> Tilt analysis 'Octagon' is a wonderful feature in ASTAP. Is it possible to run it in batch on a list of FITS images on disk? I have the 10inch Skywatcher F4 Newtonian and the way the image train is on the side of the OTA will cause differing force vectors during a night. Thus it is possible that orthogonality of the sensor could shift. I a already seeing a change in auto focus in NINA by 40 counts after a meridian flip. I would like to investigate tilt by running the ASTAP tilt analysis on the images. This will be the next day. Not the same as the 'folder monitor' capability. As output I think it might be best to just produce JPGs with the screen capture of the octagon and tilt numbers. Top goal would be a parallel CSV file with the numbers as ascii.

I don't see the image inspection listed in the Tools -> Batch processing button, so this might be a proposal for future enhancement.

Thanks & Clear Skies,,
Gert

You can already do that in tab Inspector. Just load all the files in tab Inspector and hit button Analyse. See screenshot.

Then select all with CTRL+A and select popup menu copy. Then paste all data in a spreadsheet.

The tilt is the difference between the HFD_CENT and the maximum of HFD11, HFD12... HFD33 (the 9 outer areas). Making a graph is then easy.
