GSoC 2012: Project Introduction: Logs and Data
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.kstars/4587
<pre>Hello everyone! :)
I'm Rishab, and as Samikshan mentioned, one of the two students accepted
for KStars this year! Needless to say, I'm really excited to work on KStars
this summer :)
I am relatively new to the community, so I'll take a moment to introduce
myself. I'm Rishab Arora (idling on IRC as 'spacetime'), an undergraduate
student of Information Technology from New Delhi, India. Currently in my
third year of college, I take particular interest in handling large amounts
of data. I'm an amateur astronomer and have a habit of naming devices,
heuristics and algorithms (or anything I can name) after heavenly bodies,
so I think I should fit right in. ;)
I'll start with a small description of what I've be aiming for this summer.
My proposal "Improving Data Storage, Logs and adding DSO catalogs to
KStars" involves
a. building a log viewer which will enable users to 'store' observation
logs in an internal database
b. improving the way data files handled, specifically the parsing of text
files. I'll be making it more robust and extensible.
c. storing Deep Sky Objects in a database to solve some problems we're
facing now that KStars is expanding the its datastore
d. Using the new database structure, add catalogs to KStars
Out of these, I feel adding the ability for the user to regularly store and
manage observation logs inside KStars itself would turn out to be quite
useful. Akarsh is my mentor for this project and I'm already getting a
glimpse of all the excitement (and lots of work! ) awaiting me. :) I'll be
blogging about the project and my experiences at blog.rishab.in regularly.
I'll add more details as they are discussed on the blog itself.
Although most of my interaction regarding KStars has been with Samikshan,
Akarsh and Rafal, I've worked with KStar's code so I am only familiar with
the work of other contributors. It would be great if I could get to know
everyone here! :)
Cheers!
Rishab Arora

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.kstars/4585
<pre>Hi Everybody!
My project proposal for Google Summer of Code, 2012, with the idea -
"Make KStars more usable for beginner astronomers by adding
'What's Interesting...' feature to KStars and by making 'Star Hopping'
feature user-configurable" - has been accepted. It is really exciting
and I am confident that this would be a rewarding experience for me,
the community and the users of KStars.
Through these features KStars will become more friendly and usable for
beginner and intermediate level astronomers.
Anyway, even though I am not new to this list and have posted here in the
past, I would like to introduce myself here in brief. I am an undergraduate
student of Computer Science and Engineering at National Institute of
Technology in Durgapur, India. I have made contributions to KStars as a
part of Season of KDE, 2011 and afterwards.
To know more about me, my project proposal and previous work you can
take a look at my blog at http://samxan.wordpress.com/ . I will regularly
be posting there about my work progress, thoughts and ideas.
Also it is wonderful that KStars has been allotted 2 slots for GSoC this
year. I am looking forward to working alongside Rishab Arora who'll be
working on "Improving Data Storage, Logs and adding DSO catalogs to
KStars".
Currently I am a bit occupied with my college examinations. Unfortunately,
this phase will continue till the 1st week of May. Can't wait to start work
after that.
Cheers,
Samikshan Bairagya.

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.kstars/4579
<pre>Hi
I keep getting this and other similar output on the terminal:
kstars(30667) StarBlockFactory::markNext: WARNING: Marking block with faint mag = 12.79 after block with faint mag 15.26 in trixel 32606
This is something very bad, because if this is real, then half the
stars are not going to be drawn. Looking through the code, I can't
tell why this is happening. I ran a check on my catalog for incorrect
magnitude order, but the tester (data/tools/nomadbinfiletester)
reported no errors.
This was very likely introduced after Akademy 2008 (August 2008),
because I'm almost certain that I weeded out most of the bugs before
that, and something like this would have almost certainly caught my
attention. However, these bugs are also hard to find because they
could happen only for specific regions of the sky. In this case, the
output on my terminal shows this happening for trixels 32606 and 32607
which seem to lie around M 34 in Perseus.
Alexey introduced some changes in this code, but looking through them,
I don't see anything that can cause this. The StarBlock constructor
sets the faintmag of StarBlocks to -5.
If anyone has some ideas, I'd appreciate them. I'll probably give it a
bit of my time today.
Also, if all goes well, I'm going to be at the Texas Star Party this
weekend. I'm trying to use the Observation Planner feature in KStars,
both because it's very convenient (I've tried it before on the
field). There are several bugs / usability issues, though, and I'm
trying to fix some of them in the interest of improving KStars and
making my observation sessions smoother at the same time. :). I'll let
you know how the "field test of KStars" goes ;-)

Akarsh

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.kstars/4575
<pre>The USNO NOMAD catalog seems to have artefacts near bright stars. I'm
guessing that these owe their existence to diffraction spikes and
glare, as is seen in the POSS plates. AFAIK, NOMAD uses the POSS
plates to find stars.
For comparison, consider the query on NOMAD here:
http://www.nofs.navy.mil/tmp/fchTdJ3EC_fch.html
The same field, with the same central star in the POSS [Blue] plates:
http://archive.stsci.edu/cgi-bin/dss_search?v=poss2ukstu_blue&r=18+12+24&d=-07+17+44&e=J2000&h=15.0&w=15.0&f=gif
Notice how some stars are spurious and some magnitudes are
over-estimated in NOMAD, possibly due to the diffraction spikes.
The same artefacts are found in KStars -- all bright stars usually
have a string of stars flanking them, that are usually aligned
approximately with the north-south direction. I guess these artefacts
are the result of diffraction spikes. It is therefore unlikely that
these disagreements with DSS images are bugs in KStars -- they are
more likely catalog artefacts.

Akarsh
</pre>Akarsh Simha2012-04-15T21:22:47Some observations regarding USNO NOMAD in KStars
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.kstars/4568
<pre>Hi
I did some tests on the USNO NOMAD catalog machinery in KStars
today. I'm sending a copy of these to the mailing list both for
documentation / archival purposes and so that others can look it up
when required.
This was prompted because I noticed that the star field in Trixel
12310 (of the "deep" level 6 SkyMesh) did not seem to match with the
DSS image of the same region. This could involve precession and might
be related / a bug introduced by the short-circuiting of precession,
nutation and aberration computations when the simulation time elapsed
since the last such calculation is less than about a minute (see
revision 832469e64f222e6d1cc9da77a7b4587db20c05ba). Or it could just
be that the catalog (with the search criteria used to limit down to a
100 million stars in KStars) disagrees with the POSS plates.
The following are the results of some checks done against trixel 12310
/ a rectangular patch in (RA, Dec) around trixel 12310:
1. (ra, dec) seems to be recomputed when the simulation clock is
sufficiently slewed.
2. (ra0, dec0) of stars in KStars as dumped from JITUpdate() in a
rectangular patch near Trixel 12310 agree with the dump of trixel
12310 from USNO NOMAD 1e8.dat
3. (ra, dec) computed from (ra0, dec0) by accounting for precession
looks locally like a shift in RA and Dec for the most part, which
it should. However, there were some outliers observed! This needs
investigation!
4. The subset of the USNO NOMAD catalog we have was made with the
following search criteria:
(is a 2MASS star) AND ( V <= 16.5 OR R <= 16.0 OR B <= 16.0)
(See http://markmail.org/message/dz7g3wnzl2wmfyyk for more)
There are noticable differences when different bands of magnitude
are used to filter between 12 and 16th mag using USNO's NOMAD
search facility:
http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astrometry/optical-IR-prod/icas/fchpix
This could explain the difference between the POSS plates and
KStars rendition of the same star field. Another possibility is
that there are NOMAD catalog artefacts. In either case, it looks
like the fault is not within KStars. Trixel 12310 raised my
suspiscion because it seems to have a rich band of stars, but that
artefact exists in the catalog as well, as is verified from the
plots generated by USNO's website.
5. Despite setting magnitude limits to 30 on trixel 12310, some stars
that were present in trixel 12310 were never displayed -- or at
least JITUpdate() was never called on them. But these were very few
in number.
Puzzles:
1. Some stars seem to have a wildly off value for (ra, dec) - (ra0,
dec0) from the rest of the stars. It is unlikely that the cause of
this is proper motion since faint stars have little proper motion
owing to their distance from the earth. Looks like precession is
not being applied uniformly to all stars.
2. Heisenberg stars: Some stars seem to suddenly disappear / change
their positions when you try to zoom in on them. After a couple of
tries, it usually reaches a "steady state" (an eigenstate :P). This
will probably not show on my analysis since I dump every star
that's JITUpdate()-ed, and not those that survive in the "steady
state"
I think this strongly suggests that StarBlockFactory's marking and
block-disposal / reallotment scheme is the culprit.
3. Imprecise precession: More tests need to be done until the
short-circuiting of precession is verified to work. Puzzle #1 may
be related to short-circuiting of precession.
Maybe it is a good idea to permit the precession short-circuiting to
be something we can turn on/off from the advanced options.
I'll hopefully have some figures coming up.

Akarsh

</pre>Akarsh Simha2012-04-14T12:41:54[kstars] kstars: Lots of changes that were tightlycoupled:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.kstars/4565
<pre>Git commit c1f1f8e133248d319d6523c9c6ea6dd5156aa3ad by Akarsh Simha.
Committed on 14/04/2012 at 13:50.
Pushed by asimha into branch 'master'.
Lots of changes that were tightly coupled:
1. Reorganize options related to Observing List in kstars.kcfg under a
new group.
2. Revamp the design of the "Advanced" options section to introduce a
Tab Widget [I need feedback on this decision]. This is so that we
can put all the advanced options in there without any clutter. [Q:
Does observing list belong there?]
3. Remove the hackish DSS vs. SDSS preference option in the Observing
List view and introduce the setting in the Advanced options under
Observing List.

</pre>Akarsh Simha2012-04-14T11:55:34GSoC slots
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.kstars/4564
<pre>Hi
I suppose all you students are on this mailing list. This is that part
of the timeline when the Google distributes its limited slots to open
source projects, and large open source projects distribute those even
more limited precious slots to various proposals in KDE. While
students owe their "allegiance" only to the project and their summer
job, mentors have to see the interest of both KDE and the open source
community at large, and the students at the same time. It's hard to be
completely fair to one party without doing some injustice to the
other. That's part of the reason I usually recommend that students
apply to multiple projects (despite that not being in the interest of
the organization), because you shouldn't lose out just because of
other factors.
Let us hope that all turns out well at the end of the day, but I'm
just writing this to prepare us all in advance and point out to you
that if we didn't pick you, it doesn't mean that you weren't good
enough to do a GSoC. It's just that there are too many factors
involved in picking a proposal -- not merit alone. I hope y'all will
understand this. We'll be happy to have all of you contribute to
KStars / KDE in general and I'm sure there will be a lot of people in
every KDE project willing to invest a whole lot of time in making you
a contributor, irrespective of whether you were given one of those
precious GSoC slots or not.
I feel bad for it even before any decision is taken by Google, even as
we build up our list of proposals ordered by desirability (which
usually amounts to many factors -- KDE's overall good, proposals'
merit, conflicting proposals, number of slots we can expect,
mentor-power that we have), which is why I felt I should send this
mail out. Please do not assume that our selection implies anything
about your abilities.
This year has been amongst the better ones in terms of good proposals.
Regards
Akarsh

<pre>Hi!
I've just pushed commits which remove a bunch of dead code
from KStars. I've used callcatcher to find it[1].
If you think that some of the code should be kept despite being unused
then revert relevant changeset.

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.kstars/4556
<pre>Hi, i have 2.0 KStars,
In the bacth mode the equinoxes and soltices calculator output empty
spaces for dates around -10000 and +10000. I haven't tried to search the
exact limit dates.
So is it a limitation or some bug in the calculator ?

Review request for KStars, Rafal Kulaga and Akarsh Simha.
Description
-------
Request to review local 'sok' branch before merging it to 'master'.
Features added:
1. Notification for supernovae updates.
2. Page for supernovae options in KStars options.
3. Supernovae in OpenGL backend.
Review required on these points:
1. Check if the supernova icon is visible on the view toolbar and on KStars options window.
2. Check if bug #293183 is being generated.
3. Rendering of supernovae in OpenGL backend. Are the plus signs distorted?

Review request for KStars.
Description
-------
Cause: In SkyGLPainter::drawObservingList, for each point there were 6 coordinates added but 'i' was incremented one. Changing ++i to i+=6 fixes that but the texture is replaced by a blue box at high zoom.
Solution: I used drawTexturedRectangle which is already being used to draw planets to draw the observation markers. Was the old method implemented with a different design in mind?

Reason:
SkyPainter::starWidth already contains a condition according to which the stars that are too faint are allotted a width of 1.0

Fixes bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266929 for QPainter backend only.
At high zoomlevel, the points leave the FOV and are ignored completely, whereas their fill should not be.
Used clipping in QPainter to fix bug.

Added three files:
1. kstars/skycomponents/notifyupdatesui.ui
2. kstars/skycomponents/notifyupdatesui.h
3. kstars/skycomponents/notifyupdatesui.cpp
Notification is done as a tree(QTreeWidget) inside a QDialog. Clicking on a QTreeWidgetItem and then clicking on the "Slew map to object" button would center the skyobject on the skymap. Information showed for newly discovered supernovae are:
1. Host Galaxy
2. Date of discovery
3. Magnitude
4. Type
5. Position (RA, Dec)

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.kstars/4533
<pre>Hi! I'm considering applying for GSoC this year and had the following idea
in mind.
I thought I'll share it with everyone and ask for their opinion.
Inspiration:
A few weeks ago, I was with a local amateur astronomers group and we were
discussing the recent mars opposition.
To explain some things, we needed a way to visualize the earth from above
the sun and see how the March opposition is as distant as it could be.
And I realized that this could be a feature for kstars.
What I wish to implement:
Using the openGL backend, a way for the user to observe stars and planets
from:
1) Different elevations of the earth.
2) From the surface of any other planet
3) From any point hovering in space (not bound to any planet)
Also, this would let me add another feature: split-screen mode
In split-screen mode, the user can view the universe from multiple
viewpoints at the same time.
For eg. One could see the said mars opposition hovering above the sun while
watching it simultaneously located on earth.
So? What do you think? (I know there are a lot of unanswered questions
here, but I wanted to ask the community if the idea is worth the effort
first)
Regards,
Rishab Arora
