How to get GAIA magnitudes with solves

[David Strong]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to have the GAIA magnitude data written out to a file when an astrometric solution is found?

I get identical file outputs regardless of the index files I've used. All output files are the same using 4200, 5000, and 5200 indexes.

Is there a command line switch or something else I've missed?

Thanks!

David

Hi,

What you want are the "heavy" version of the 5200-series index files.  These have the Gaia magnitudes tagged along.

cheers,

Hi Dustin,

I verified I am using the "heavy" version of the index files. Both the heavy and light versions produce the exact same output files. No changes in the FITS headers. Is there another flag I need to be using in the command line call?

I'm calling it from within a Python script using:

      subprocess.run(["solve-field","--downsample","2","--ra",str(RA_1),"--dec",str(DEC_1),"--radius","5","--overwrite", "--use-sextractor", FQPN], check=True)

Thanks,

David

Ahh, sorry, I forgot that you need to add to your solve-field command the "--tag-all" option.
