suggestions for better annotation on running on Ubuntu under WSL2

[Don Samuels]

Here is my script, and I am getting annotations but wonder if there is a more elegant or better way to do the script and put more annotations (but not too many more):

#! /bin/bash
# this small script to run astrometry, and then rerun plot-constellelations to get some lables

solve-field ./$1.jpg --verbose --no-delete-temp --plot-scale 0.25 --overwrite --downsample 2 -l 12000 | tee log.txt
grep plot-constellations log.txt | awk '{print $3}' > temp.txt
astrotempfile=$(cat temp.txt)
rm temp.txt

echo $astrotempfile
/usr/bin/pnmscale 0.50000 $astrotempfile | /usr/bin/plot-constellations -v -w ./$1.wcs -i - -s 0.250000 -N -B -C -f 10 -n 4 -o ./$1-ngc.png

Thanks

Don

Using that script above, I wanted to get to Bode's galaxy. It is shooting right now, but I wanted to test out on my computer and got surprised that the annotations are off. Bode's and Cigar are clearly visible on my final test shoot before starting 2 hours worth of shooting. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

For NGC galaxies, there is an extra argument:

   [-F <fraction>]: minimum NGC size, relative to image size (default 0.02)

so if an NGC object's size in the catalog is smaller than that fraction of the size of your image, it won't get annotated.

(We do this because, if your image is fairly wide, there can be hundreds of NGCs in it, and then the annotations are a mess!)

I hope that helps,
