Moon Angle

Moon Angle provides a loop condition that allows you to start or end loops based on the target's angular distance from the Moon.

This loop condition appears under the Loop Condition category of instructions.

FITS keywords and file name patterns

This plugin adds:

• SUNANGLE and MOONANGL FITS keywords to all non-DARK and non-BIAS type exposures. The definitions for these keywords may be found in the HEASARC Dictionary of Commonly Used FITS Keywords.
• $$SUNANGLE$$ and $$MOONANGLE$$ file name patterns.

For exposures taken during a sequence, the angular sparation that is recorded in the FITS keywords and file patterns will be measured from the object of interest. If the exposure is taken outside of a sequence, such as manual exposures made from the Imaging window, the angular separation will be measured from the pointing coordinates reported by the mount.
