User interface optimization |
|
|
Due to the limited bandwidth at the remote observatory sites, it is necessary to
keep the web page footprint as small as possible. All pages has been reworked with
this in mind.
In particular, long lists will have a large footprint if they contain excessive
user interface code. So the file list have been simplified, and will load a lot
quicker than before.

Filter change |
|
|
Since it is now possible to upload old file (see next point), it is necessary to
be able to specify any past date. The observation date filter component has thus
been replaced by text boxes. It is also possible to specify a period (from-to).
This will be useful for time series analysis, which is currently under development.

List changes
|
|
|
FITS header details moved
Previously you would click an icon in the list to view the FITS header. Now you need to open the image first (by clicking the object name),
and then clicking the 'FITS Header' link above the image.
Select files
Previously you could select files in the list by checking a check box. This has been removed to minimize bandwidth load.
Stacking, downloading and deleting files now applies to all images in the list. So when you perform these functions
please take care to filter out the images you don't want.

|
New |
Upload file |
|
|
It is now possible to upload files to re-analyse them. They should be zipped into
an zip-file to minimize bandwidth load.

Saving a sequence from the image |
|
|
You can now create or modify user defined sequences directly when working with an
image. Simply click 'Save Sequence' when done.
|
|
Mod |
New sequence file format |
|
|
The new format supports check stars. To accomplished this a new column has been added to the file format, which
takes one character: 'T' for target, 'C' for comparison
star and 'H' for check star.
Note that you do not have to modify existing sequence files manually. You can change them graphically
and save them as described above.

New |
Deleting user defined sequences |
|
|
A user defined sequence file can now be deleted. Go to the sequence page and click
the delete symbol in the list.
|
|
Mod |
Star info box |
|
|
The way the star info box behaves has changed (this is the box that pops up when
you move the mouse pointer over a measurement in an image).
It will disappear as before when the pointer moves off the box, provided that no
information has changed. But if anything has changed (such as name, star type etc.),
it will stay open until the user clicks 'Update' or 'Cancel'.
|
|
New |
Save report to text file |
|
|
It is now possible to save a complete report to text file.
This file contains image summary, target and check star lists, as well as the comparison
star list as before.
|
|
New |
Change aperture size on the report page |
|
|
An aperture box has been added to the report page to allows for quick determination
of the effect of changing the aperture radius.
|
|
Mod |
Aperture radius change |
|
|
The aperture radius can now be a decimal number instead of an integer.
|
|
New |
Image Display |
|
|
The user now has more detailed control over how the image is displayed. Stretch
the image by change the low and high threshold, invert it, and choose between linear
or logarithmic stretching.
It is also possible to zoom in on any part of the image. Click the region you want
to inspect. Move the mouse over the aperture, and click the 'Inspect' link in the
info box.
