If they come in form of table names on a TAP-capable server, everything is fine, but if they are supplied as, e.g., FITS files (which was the case for HETDEX, if I understand correctly), I cannot really deal with them at the moment. Querying anything that is not behind an ADQL-capable front end will require quite significant changes and enhancements to the current version of the code.</p> FIBERALLOC-33

How to deal with manually provided/cached catalogues for guide star selection?

Task Normal Open Unresolved mxhf Martin Reinecke Fri, 21 Aug 2020 13:30:24 +0000 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 20:09:50 +0000 ets_shuffle 0 2 <p>Is there some reason not to load these tables into a DB as part of the observing preparation? I don't know whether you'd rather have e.g. TAP, sqlite, or postgres but it seems reasonable for this to be done outside this code.<br/> There are other places that we need to have user-provided catalogues in a PFS-defined format (e.g. pfsDesign files) so I think we are going to have to expect to make this sort of transformation.</p> <p>If there is an option of providing the catalogs in a way that I can access them in a way analogous to the online catalogs, I'm perfectly happy. I can't judge how much effort this would be, but if it is an acceptable solution, then we can just clarify this in the description of <a href="https://pfspipe.ipmu.jp/jira/browse/FIBERALLOC-28" title="Update code to find guide star candidates in guide camera footprints" class="issue-link" data-issue-key="FIBERALLOC-28"><del>FIBERALLOC-28</del></a> and close this issue.</p> Blocks FIBERALLOC-28 Relates INSTRM-1078 Development Rank 0|zzs2hs:
