This is the examples directory. It contains the following files: README - this file almanac - A simple almanac program, displaying sun and moon rise and set for the given day (defaulting to today), and the quarters of the moon, solstices and equinoxes for the next 30 days after the given day. flare_vcalendar - A source file, to be executed by, for example, satpass2> source eg/flare_vcalendar This makes Iridium flare calculations for any satellites that have been loaded, and displays the results in vCalendar format. CAVEAT: My ancient Palm desktop software appears not to properly handle the switch between normal and daylight-saving time (a.k.a. summer time), in that predictions made before the switch for events after the switch get assigned the wrong time, even though the UT event time is correct in the emitted file. I have not changed the event times to local time eg/flare_vcalendar because the vcalendar standard specifies UT. pass_vcalendar - A source file, to be executed by, for example, satpass2> source eg/pass_vcalendar This makes pass calculations for any satellites that have been loaded, and displays the results in vCalendar format. CAVEAT: The same as for flare_vcalendar. tle_celestia.tt - A Template-Toolkit file to display TLE data in the format needed for the Celestia planetarium software. You would use this by loading the orbital elements you want, and then issuing the command satpass2> formatter format eg/tle_celestia.tt All options to the tle command work here (e.g. -choose). CAVEAT: The file generated by this template is in the correct format, but is known (or at least strongly suspected) NOT to put the satellite in the correct position. tle_json.tt - A Template-Toolkit file to display TLE data in JSON format, the keys being compatible with the ones returned by the Space Track REST interface. You would use this by loading the orbital elements you want, and then issuing the command satpass2> formatter format eg/tle_celestia.tt All options to the tle command work here (e.g. -choose). tle_stellarium.tt - A Template-Toolkit file to display TLE data in the format needed for Stellarium planetarium software. You would use this from Astro::App::Satpass2 by loading the orbital elements you want, and then issuing the command satpass2> formatter format eg/tle_stellarium.tt All options to the tle command work here (e.g. -choose).
