LPecPrep

PEC Curve creation for Linux

Inspired by:

• PECPrep

Designed for:

• KStars KStars Documentation
• Any other Cross Platform Astronomical Program based on C++ and QT

The History

Compiling the program

Linux

• Clone this repo into, e.g. ~/Projects/lpecprep
• mkdir ~/Projects/lpecprep-build
• cd ~/Projects/lpecprep-build
• cmake ../lpecprep
• make -j8 LPecPrep

What else do I need to install

• Not totally sure at this point, but if you can compile KStars, you can compile this.

Using the Program

Start it from the command line as follows:

• ~/Projects/lpecprep-build/LPecPrep

Then it starts as follows:

• You then need to add your mount's worm period, in seconds, into the Period box on the middle right.
• Then click on New File and navigate to a pec-training ekos guider log file and accept that. That file needs to be generated usig experimental KStars/Ekos software. It should come up with a menu of possible guider sessions.

• Click on the one you want and then click OK.

• It then generates a PEC file, and you can save it using the Save File button.

• You can look at the PEC curves in the PEC Curve tab.
