1.0.62

This stable release graduates changes tested in 1.0.62-rc.1.

Highlights

• GalactiLog now sends per-session coordinates and rotation to NINA.
• GalactiLog prioritizes plate-solved Right Ascension and Declination for target coordinates, improving accuracy.
• The Mosaic Detail page now correctly displays filter-specific thumbnails upon load.

What's New

• Integrations: GalactiLog now sends per-session coordinates and rotation data to NINA.
• Data Processing: GalactiLog prioritizes plate-solved Right Ascension and Declination values over sequence target coordinates.

Bug Fixes

• Corrected an issue where NINA would reset if rotation was set immediately after coordinates.
• Resolved a fallback logic error for position angles on resolved targets.
• Fixed an issue preventing the Mosaic Detail page from initializing with filter-specific thumbnails on load.

Technical Changes

• Introduced a fixed 2-second delay before setting NINA rotation to ensure proper command sequencing.
• Implemented polling of NINA framing information before setting rotation.

Changes since 1.0.61

This release introduces enhanced integration with NINA, allowing GalactiLog to send per-session coordinates and rotation data for more precise framing. Coordinate accuracy is improved as GalactiLog now prioritizes plate-solved Right Ascension and Declination over sequence target coordinates. Several issues have been addressed, including a NINA integration stability fix to prevent resets when setting rotation, a correction for position angle fallback logic on resolved targets, and a fix for the Mosaic Detail page to correctly display filter-specific thumbnails upon loading. Internal NINA integration adjustments include fixed delays and polling mechanisms for more robust communication.

Highlights

• GalactiLog now displays color previews for One-Shot Color (OSC) images.
• A new mechanism allows resolving orphan targets with unresolvable OBJECT names from FITS headers.
• The position angle is now displayed for targets that do not have saved coordinates.

What's New

• Image Previews & Composites:
  • Color previews are now displayed for One-Shot Color (OSC) images.
  • Mosaic composites and thumbnails now respect date filters applied to individual panels within a session.
• Target Management:
  • A new feature provides orphan target resolution for unresolvable OBJECT names extracted from FITS headers.
  • The position angle is displayed for targets that do not have saved coordinates.
  • NINA framing data now supports position angle.
  • RA/Dec values now fall back to FITS header data when no catalog match is found.
• User Interface:
  • Placeholder text has been added to the Object Type and Catalog ID fields.
  • Displayed coordinates are now rounded for improved readability.

Bug Fixes

• Corrected the usage of the synchronous database engine in orphan API endpoints.
• Fixed incorrect asynchronous Redis usage in the orphan-preview API endpoint.

Technical Changes

• The database schema has been updated to allow nullable merge candidate targets.

Upgrade Notes

• A database migration is required. Run alembic upgrade head after updating.

Changes since 1.0.60

GalactiLog 1.0.61 introduces several new features and important fixes. Users will now see color previews for One-Shot Color (OSC) images directly within the application. Mosaic composites and thumbnails will now accurately reflect date filters set for individual session panels. A significant new capability is the ability to resolve orphan targets whose OBJECT names from FITS headers were previously unresolvable. The application now displays position angles for targets lacking saved coordinates and integrates position angle support into NINA framing data. If no catalog match is found for RA/Dec, GalactiLog now uses values from FITS headers. User interface improvements include placeholder text in Object Type and Catalog ID fields, and rounded coordinate displays. This release also addresses and resolves several backend issues, including event loop conflicts and incorrect database and Redis usage in orphan API endpoints. A database migration is required for this upgrade.
