/solar setup add
/solar setup add <kind>
Saves a solar imaging setup — your telescope, camera, and (for a spectroheliograph) slit — so Andi can check whether the Sun fits and plan sessions around it. You can keep several and choose a default.
Usage: /solar setup add kind: Scanning (or Frame), then fill
in the form. In the Telescope box type a known telescope’s name
(like AT115EDT) or just its focal length in mm (805); in the
Camera box type a known camera’s name (like ATR183M) or the
pixel size and resolution (2.4, 5440x3648). Aperture is optional if
the telescope is a known model. Anything you type beats the known
model’s value.
Scanning setups (spectroheliographs) show a second form after a
button press, for the slit length and width, the relay magnification
(camera lens focal length ÷ collimator focal length — blank for
identical lenses), which sensor side the slit runs along, and your
usual scan as speed and direction (8 RA) — used to estimate frame
rate and exposure. Frame setups (an etalon scope, white light)
save right after the first form.
If something doesn’t parse you’ll get a Fix it button that reopens the form with what you typed still filled in. Saving with a name you already have replaces that setup. Your first setup becomes your default automatically; later ones ask. The reply shows how big the Sun is on your sensor and whether it fits — for a scanning setup, both the slit and the sensor are checked.
