RoboOrbits Finders

What is RoboOrbits Finders

I finders sono i form per la ricerca dei dati relativi ai Target Dinamici nel database di RoboOrbits.

C'è un finder per ogni tipologia di Target Dinamico, da un finder non si ha accesso ai dati di altre tipologie di Target Dinamico.

Per l'apertura del FInder, over possibile, sono presenti dei pulsanti dedicati con il testo che richiama la tipologia di Target Dinamico ricercabile.

Grazie al Finder sarà possibile effettuare ricerche più o meno approfondite nel database di RoboOrbits, calcolare la posizione attuale del Target e visualizzare i dati orbitali dello stesso compreso i dati di transito.

Important Note! In order to calculate the position of the Dynamic Target in real time it is necessary that Voyager has access to the data of the location of the mount through the mount or through the fixed parameters in the setup of Voyager or thanks to the use of the new system of cache of the Location introduced with the Voyager version 2.3.8b. Without latitude, longitude and elevation data it will only be possible to view the orbital parameters and a few other information.

Please configure Location source here . More info about Voyager Location Cache here.

Important Note! Finders will not work until you download and import the data into RoboOrbits. The RoboOrbits database is in fact empty upon first installation. The data is not included in Voyager.

Comets Finder

Comets Finder allow user to search for comets object in the RoboOrbits database. Search will be done in what is actually stored and not online. If you want you can update before the Comets database from online data.

• Find Comets : entering the text to search
  • Find : run the search. Will be found comets which designation name or number start, contains or match with the text.
  • Red X Button : will reset the search fields and the search results and data
• Search Results : where is showed the list of object found with the target number/code and the Designation Name order in alfabetical order. Double click on the interest row to select the object and to close the Finder and report the calculated coordinates to the caller. Single click on the interest row to show the orbital data and the processed data
• Data About Selected Object - NOW : contains all the data about the selected row with calculation about actual location and transit info if the Voyager Location cache is valorized and valid (see here). All the calculation and processing is done on the actual date time , time zone and latitude, longitude and elevation reported onthe little status bar on bottom of the finder
• Copy RA/DEC : copy to the clipboard the infor about actual RA/DEC of the target selected, you can paste in other Voyager forms where you have the Paste RA/DEC buttons
• Use this Object : click on this button to close the Finder and report the calculated coordinates to the caller.

A red background on the Transit Time field in the Processed data means the object will nvere be visible:

Important Note! If the Voyager Location Cache is empty transit / actual location and others data field will be blank. Connect at least one time the mount or use fidex value configuration to obtain the dynamic informations about the selected object.

Asteroids Finder

Asteroids Finder allow user to search for asteroids object in the RoboOrbits database. Search will be done in what is actually stored and not online. If you want you can update before the Asteroids database from online data.

• Find Asteroids : entering the text to search
  • Fast Find : run the search. Will be found asteroids which designation name or number start or match with the text. This is a fast search.
  • Deep Find : run the serarch. Will be found asteroids which designation name or number start, contains or match with the text. This is a deep search and the time needed depends on your CPU power.
  • Red X Button : will reset the search fields and the search results and data
• Search Results : where is showed the list of object found with the target number/code and the Designation Name order in alfabetical order. Double click on the interest row to select the object and to close the Finder and report the calculated coordinates to the caller. Single click on the interest row to show the orbital data and the processed data
• Data About Selected Object - NOW : contains all the data about the selected row with calculation about actual location and transit info if the Voyager Location cache is valorized and valid (see here). All the calculation and processing is done on the actual date time , time zone and latitude, longitude and elevation reported onthe little status bar on bottom of the finder
• Copy RA/DEC : copy to the clipboard the infor about actual RA/DEC of the target selected, you can paste in other Voyager forms where you have the Paste RA/DEC buttons
• Use this Object : click on this button to close the Finder and report the calculated coordinates to the caller.

A red background on the Transit Time field in the Processed data means the object will nvere be visible:

Important Note! If the Voyager Location Cache is empty the transit / actual location and others data field will be blank. Connect at least one time the mount or use fidex value configuration to obtain the dynamic informations about the selected object.
