Summary0001370: Making GETRA and GETDEC server commands returning RA and Dec in arcsec units
DescriptionHi Patrick,

could you make GETRA and GETDEC returning also the fractional part of the angle?
The improvement would be mainly on RA since current "resolution" is 15 arcsec...
To cause no issues to all those are currently using GETRA and GETDEC, you could add a couple of new commands to return both RA and Dec as Int in arcsec...

Thank you and Clear Skies!
Armando

Sorry... a couple of new commands to have both RA and Dec as Int in mas or simply a new command to have RA in arcsec...

Hi,

You can add the parameter F to get a decimal result with five digit. The default is the S parameter that return a string mainly for display purpose.

The rounding precision to 0.00001 is 0.03" for Dec and 0.5" for RA.

For example:
GETRA
OK! 17h07m12s
GETRA F
OK! 17.11991
GETDEC
OK! -01d45m34s
GETDEC F
OK! -1.75940

Does this solve your problem?

Hi Patrick,

since I found GETRA and GETDEC working without passing any parameter I ignored the "S/F" parameter shown in the documentation table...

I didn't realize F was meant to get decimal result. So the problem is completely solved...

Thank you and Clear Skies!

Yes, the documentation is a bit short.
I add and example for GETRA so the option is more visible.
