Moon elevation

[Daviddb35]

Hi,

I try to extract the AS_MOON_ELEVATION and AS_SUN_ELEVATION values in /allsky/tmp/allskydata.json with a script.
I noticed that the moon and sun variable do not change at all, despite all other changing.
I do not explore deeper on other variable.

Does anyone have an idea of what is going on ?

I saw this https://github.com/AllskyTeam/allsky/discussions/3324 maybe it is related to ? I did not test it in night mode.

Does the data are extracted from the overlay ? Does the allsky export module start periodicaly on day or night or start only one time ?

I presume you are using the export module? What settings do you have in the export module

[Daviddb35]

Sorry, yes I use the export module.

File location: ${ALLSKY_TMP}/allskydata.json

Extra data to export: CAMERA_TYPE,DAY_OR_NIGHT,CURRENT_IMAGE,FULL_FILENAME,ALLSKY_VERSION

[Alex-developer]

I can reproduce the issue here, it seems that none of the variables generated in the overlay are available in the export.

I'll log it as a bug

[Daviddb35]

Thank you Alex.

Thanks Alex !

It was only a moon and sun problem or did it impact other variables ?

It affected all variables.

The next release is about to go into more widespread testing so will be available soon
