mosaic panel mid-points...

Here's what Dave sent me recently...

Also, I have updated the robot software so the #request command supports
a specified RA/Dec directly (no need for #addobject). It was made live
on BGO a week or two ago but... not announced it yet. From the
docs, it goes like this:

"Alternatively, a custom object can be specifying using its equatorial
position as follows:

ra=hours

This is the object's Right Ascension in decimal hours or in the format
hh:mmConfuseds.s (J2000 epoch).
hh : mm : ss.s 

dec=degrees

This is the object's Declination in decimal degrees or in the format
+dd:mmConfuseds (J2000 epoch).
+dd : mm : ss

type=objecttype

This is an optional parameter that specifies the type of astronomical
object. Values from 0 to 17 represent the following object types:

0 is a star
1 is a galaxy
2 is a globular cluster
3 is an open cluster
4 is a nebula
5 is a planetary nebula
6 is an “other” type of deep sky object (this is the default
setting)
7 is a solar system object
8-12 are not used
13 is a double star
14 is a variable star"
cheers,
Blake
