  1. Please download the latest version (v.1.2.0.0  from Feb 24, 2022) of addin as a *.ZIP file, size 28 kB.
  2. Unzip the DLL file into the OW folder.
  3. Exit from OW and then restart, in order to see the addin in the list
  4. Go to the Add-ins tab -> Configure Add-in -> “OW SkyChart Addin”
  5. Right click on the selected occultation event and than chose “Show event in SkyChart”.
  6. As in the C2A and Guide addins, the program will open star map and occulted star will be in the middle, seen in mid-event time from Occult Watcher.
  7. If the star is not in the center, change the coordinate display settings in CdC: Go to Setup -> Chart, coordinates -> Type of coordinates and change from “Apparent” to “Astrometric J2000”.
  8. Whether the asteroid will be visible in the center of the field of view also depends on the settings in the CdC. Go to Setup -> Solar System -> Asteroid and play with the settings.

The latest version  includes two initial configuration options:
– setproj: setting star field projection as ALTAZ/EQUAT/GALACTIC/ECLIPTIC
– setfov – settong of fild size , range from 0.0 to 360 deg with 0.5 deg precision

 

  • Wstawianie nowego obiektu w CdC: Setup -> Catalog -> User defined Objects tab – Add
  • Obrót pola widzenia kamery CCD: Shift+C or Shift+S then press the keyboard arrow to rotate by five degrees
  • Start CdC z własnymi polikami INI: jest to opisane tu: https://www.ap-i.net/skychart/en/documentation/line_commands

You can create a specific desktop shortcut for each configuration you want to use.
I give the example with Windows but this work the same with other desktop.
– copy the “Cartes du Ciel” icon
– right click the icon, select Rename to give it another name in relation with the use, for example “SkyChart Night”
– right click on the icon, select Properties
– in the Target row add the option you want, the full entry will be: “C:\Program Files\Ciel\skychart.exe” –config=”%LOCALAPPDATA%\skychart\SkyChart Night.ini”
be careful with the ” ” and eventually Program Files (x86)
– click OK
