Hi,

I am presuming that the following is giving details of how to change Astrometrica to produce ADES format?

Thanks Steve

Astrometrica2ADES

Code to convert Astrometrica output files into the new MPC ADES format for astrometry data interchange (link to MPC ADES page)

Installation instructions

Linux/Unix

If you want to look at and (potentially) modify the code, the method below will give you a local checkout and install it (you likely want to make an activate a virtualenv first):
  1. git clone https://github.com/LCOGT/Astrometrica2ADES
  2. cd Astrometrica2ADES
  3. pip install -r requirements.txt
  4. python setup.py install
To install it in one step, you can just do: pip install git+https://github.com/LCOGT/Astrometrica2ADES

Windows

This will setup a Virtual Environment, activate it and then install the code. You will need to activate the Virtualenv again if you restart the computer or quit the Git Bash shell.
  1. Get and install Python3 if you don't have it already (https://www.python.org/downloads/)
  2. Launch Git Bash (https://git-scm.com/downloads)
  3. virtualenv ~/ades_venv
  4. source ~/adev/Scripts/activate
  5. pip install git+https://github.com/LCOGT/Astrometrica2ADES

Usage

Hi Bill,

A very useful update, many thanks.

When ADES formatted astrometry is used I can only see up to the RA
residual in the main display area, could you reduce the amount of white
space on the lines to get both RA and Dec residuals to display together?
I can see both if I save residuals to a file but not on screen.
