Slew

AI-generated

Summary

Slew the mount to specified right ascension and declination coordinates, optionally waiting for completion, centering via plate solve, and rotating to a target angle.

Inputs

  • Right Ascension (required) — Right Ascension in decimal degrees to which the mount will slew.
  • Declination (required) — Declination in decimal degrees to which the mount will slew.
  • Wait for Result — Whether to wait for the slew to complete before continuing the workflow; default is true.
  • Center — Whether to plate solve and center the mount position after slewing; default is false.
  • Rotate — Whether to rotate the mount to a specified target angle after slewing; default is false.
  • Rotation Angle — Target rotation angle in degrees to apply if rotating; relevant only if Rotate is true.

Output shape

a single JSON object reflecting the mount controller's response to the slew command

The output contains the response from the N.I.N.A. API call to slew the mount. If multiple input items are processed, multiple corresponding outputs are returned. Errors are reported per item if continueOnFail is enabled.

Examples

Example 1: Slew mount to RA 180°, Dec 45°, wait for completion, and center after slewing

Set Right Ascension=180, Declination=45, Wait for Result=true, Center=true, Rotate=false

Example 2: Slew mount to RA 60°, Dec -30°, rotate to 90° without waiting

Set Right Ascension=60, Declination=-30, Wait for Result=false, Center=false, Rotate=true, Rotation Angle=90
