Implemented features

Looks like a good run today:

Added a summary mail which is being sent in the morning, summarizing all observations of the past night together with the costs. 😀

I changed the default behaviour of the emails being sent when new observations come in. Currently, the default is that for every observation one mail is being sent - which can cause some heavy email traffic (and annoying traffic).
Now by default those progress mails won't be sent.
To compensate, there will be a daily resumee mail being sent at around 10 am UTC. I hope this is in everybody's interest 😉

I am working hard on integrating the file download directly in the web frontend. In the coming days, a function to download all files of one imaging request will be added 😀

EDIT: Ok, it is already integrated. 😄

lukas_demetz

Enhanced the display of failed plans: Now whenever a request has failed plans the percentage will be highlighted as well as the button to resubmit them.

Remember: Failed plans per default are not being resubmitted automatically. So if you wonder why your images have not been taken have a look there. Most of the times a reason for the failure can also be seen.

Added the Request ID (RID) to the payment, Observation and Imaging Request pages. This is useful as it corresponds to the number prepended to all files.
Improved visualization on the Payment History page

Improved the calculation of realistic duration of Fixed Requests: Now, for example, the Veloce in Namibia is being considered with longer postprocessing times than the iDK, for example.

Continued with the internationalization of the site: Most content can now be translated. We are in the process of adding German and Italian translations
fixed a small glitch of the Bulk Request Uploader
Many small fixes here and there

I dosabled today the automatic resubmission of failed requests. I need to implement something more sophisticated.

Right now, it is pretty crude and basically resubmits the whole request. Any already taken data is ignored, so potentially you might end up with way more data than originally requested.

lukas_demetz

Added filename for each observation (as discussed in this feature request). Please note that the data will be populated for all future observations 😀

lukas_demetz

Fixed an annoying bug when using bulk uploads and negative coordinates (well, ones starting with '-00:')
Switched the Veloce in Namibia to use less platesolve images to speed things up. Pointing is pretty good anyway

lukas_demetz

The Veloce in Namibia had an error which prevented it to correctly focus when switching filter (was not using the configured offsets). This has been fixed

lukas_demetz

I felt funny today so I added some more "fun" descriptions to the status of the scopes 🙂

Fixed a small time calculation error when using Firefox, which prevented some fixed time requests to be inserted correctly

Finally added a feature to use orbital elements in imaging requests. I still have to add a detailed howto, but basically one has to take the data from MPC and insert several lines combined. I will create a separate post with more details

lukas_demetz

Added a FOV preview to the current preview window. In theory, the shown field of view should coincide with the camera orientation and also with the scale. It is currently a beta feature, I will analyze the coming images and see if they correspond.

lukas_demetz

Fixed some minor visual issues
Found a bug in a very particular constellation of settings while submitting a request
Automatic submission after a network outage has been severly improved - this is now being checked all 15 minutes

lukas_demetz

Finally added a Button to quickly contact us via WhatsApp. It is usually the easiest way to get in touch with me if any problems arise 😀

lukas_demetz

Added support for rotators - or better, choosing the orientation of the field. Currently this works only for the iDK in Namibia as it's the only scope with a rotator. Please note that the FOV currently will not display the correct angle of the FOV

lukas_demetz

Fixed an issue when editing astrometric plans (there was a small error causing it to fail)

lukas_demetz

added the RID on the calendar for fixed time events
