Find Misalignment
Step 1: Take observations
Run a specific polar alignment script to capture data for a wide range of HA?
Run your PANOPTES unit to take observations overnight.
Make sure the observations are uploaded to Google cloud storage.
Step 2: Download drift data from the observations
Beginner's tutorial on how to create, open and run a Jupyter notebook: https://www.dataquest.io/blog/jupyter-notebook-tutorial/
Download the Jupyter notebook file
PANOPTES - 03 Drift Observation Polar Alignment.ipynb
in this link to your local laptop/computer.Follow the steps in the Jupyter Notebook, run one cell at a time consecutively until you reach the end of the notebook.
Step 3: Fix misalignment in your mount
Use the al (deg) and az (deg) values obtained from the notebook to do the polar alignment as described in Fix Misalignment.
