Virtual camera based on sdss-basecam using remote catalog

from lvmtan run:

poetry run container_start --name lvm.all

from lvmpwi run:

poetry run container_start --name=lvm.sci.pwi --simulator

from skymakercam run:

poetry run python utils/plot_skymakercam.py -v -c python/skymakercam/etc/cameras.yaml lvm.sci.agw.cam

• Move lvm.sci.foc for focusing - relative 10000 steps.
• Move lvm.sci.km absolute in degree "DEG".
• Move lvm.sci.pwi for target.
• Press 'o' for find stars and recenter.
• Press 'q' to quit.

use it in your own python code:

With this config example python/skymakercam/etc/cameras.yaml and the actors running from before, it can be used like this:

import asyncio
from logging import DEBUG, INFO
from skymakercam.camera import SkymakerCameraSystem, SkymakerCamera

async def example_skymakercam(camname, exptime, verb, config):

   cs = SkymakerCameraSystem(SkymakerCamera, camera_config=config, verbose=verb)
   cam = await cs.add_camera(name=camname, uid=cs._config[camname]["uid"])

   # eg: expose or do whatever u do with a sdss-basecam type camera.
   exp = await cam.expose(exptime, camname)
   

verb = DEBUG
camname = "lvm.sci.agw.cam"
config = "python/skymakercam/etc/cameras.yaml"

asyncio.run(example_skymakercam(camname, 5.0, verb, config))
