SlewInitialState

This table contains all of the initial state information from a given visit’s slew. The state information is collected before the slew to the given target has started. The SlewHistory_slewCount column points to a given slew in the SlewHistory table.

Column Description
slewStateId Numeric identifier for a particular slew state.
Session_sessionId The simulation run session Id.
slewStateDate The UTC date/time of the slew state information (units=seconds)
targetRA Current target Right Ascension (units=degrees).
targetDec Current target Declination (units=degrees).
tracking Whether or not the telescope is tracking the sky.
altitude Current target altitude (units=degrees).
azimuth Current target azimuth (units=degrees)
paraAngle Current parallactic angle of the rotator (units=degrees).
domeAlt Current dome altitude (units=degrees).
domeAz Current dome azimuth (units=degrees).
telAlt Current telescope altitude (units=degrees).
telAz Current telescope azimuth (units=degrees).
rotTelPos Current position of the telescope rotator (units=degrees).
rotSkyPos Current position of the camera on the sky (units=degrees).
filter Band filter for the recorded slew state.
SlewHistory_slewCount Numeric identifier that relates to an entry in the SlewHistory table.
