Astropanel values not correctly displayed

[marson99]

Dear community,

after running indi-allsky a night and day it is getting obvious to me that it does not indicate the correct values for sun and moon altitudes as well as moon rise and set time at the web interface. Location and time/-zone of my cam is displayed correctly in the images overlay. I couldn't identify a possible fix in the gonfig page or discussions. Any ideas?

As an example the images below are showing sun altitudes at my location of approx 7 deg lower in indi-allsky and stellarium (which has been proofed...and at the same time)

Best,
Mario

Is it possible you have adjusted your location and you might just need to reboot? Sometimes the web interface will cache old config values until restarted.

Hi Aaron,Many thanks for your prompt reply! Today I did several reboots during my attempts to configure my cam. I didn't observe any changes to the gap of the astropanel. The gap is existing still.MarioAm 06.03.26, 18:25 schrieb Aaron W Morris ***@***.***>: Is it possible you have adjusted your location and you might just need to reboot?

Are you sure your Latitude and Longitude are exactly the same between indi-allsky and Stellarium? I re-evaluated the code and I do not see a reason for a 7 degree difference. In my case, Stellarium and indi-allsky differ by about 1 degree, but is roughly the same with KStars and SkySafari 7.

Hi Aaron, the problem was between my ears...somehow...I'd never expected that eastern latitude is a positive value! I'm used to input eastern latitudes with a negative algebraic sign. Every time I've read the explanation on the "Location"-page I read over that important info. By analising the gap it was obvious to me, that my position is approx. 9 deg in western direction of the meridian and so I read the "Location"-page again and what shall I say...
...now Astropanel displays the values in correspondence with Stellarium.
But I'm still perplexed about the fact of the opposite interpretation of the latitudes' prefix. Sorry for causing that effort on your side!

I am glad you figured it out. It is not a problem investigating this. The astrometrics library I use, PyEphem, is extremely competent, but there are some conditions that can throw off calculations if the library is used incorrectly. I just needed to confirm none of those conditions are happening.
