5. Catalog Pipeline

5.1 Fetch & Parse

Fetch both CSVs from GitHub raw in parallel on first startup and weekly thereafter (7-day TTL via catalog.fetched_at in SQLite):

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mattiaverga/OpenNGC/master/database_files/NGC.csv
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mattiaverga/OpenNGC/master/database_files/IC.csv

Parse with the csv crate. Strip invalid rows (missing RA/Dec, invalid type).

5.2 Filtering for this setup

Keep objects where ALL of:

• Type in: GX, GC, OC, EN, RN, PN, SNR, BN, NF, DN
• Dec between −30° and +75°
• MajAx > 0.1 arcmin (not stellar)

5.3 Derived fields (compute once, store in DB)

FOV fill ratio:

let fill_pct = (size_arcmin_maj / FOV_ARCMIN_H).min(1.0) * 100.0;

Mosaic flag and panel count:

let panels_w = (size_arcmin_maj / FOV_ARCMIN_W).ceil() as u32;
let panels_h = (size_arcmin_maj / FOV_ARCMIN_H).ceil() as u32;
let mosaic_flag = panels_w > 1 || panels_h > 1;
// panels_w × panels_h e.g. "2×1", "2×2", "3×2"

Difficulty rating (1–5):

fn difficulty(obj_type, size_arcmin_maj, mag_v, surface_brightness, bortle) -> u8 {
    // Start at 2
    // +1 if SB > 13 mag/arcsec² (faint extended)
    // +1 if size < 2 arcmin (small, needs good seeing)
    // +1 if mag_v > 11.0
    // +1 if obj_type == DarkNebula
    // -1 if obj_type == OpenCluster
    // -1 if mosaic (just flag it, not harder per se, but different)
    // clamp 1..=5
}

Guide star density: Query the number of catalog stars within a 1° radius at the target's RA/Dec using a bundled Tycho-2 subset. Return "rich" (>50), "moderate" (15–50), "sparse" (<15).

Because bundling Tycho-2 is large, use a simpler proxy:

• Galactic latitude |b| > 30°: likely sparse for emission nebulae in the halo
• |b| < 10°: rich (galactic plane)
• 10–30°: moderate
• Always mark targets with Galactic longitude 0–30° as rich (galactic centre direction)

Surface brightness: use SurfBr from OpenNGC CSV directly.

6. Astronomy Engine (Rust)

6.1 Julian Date

Standard formula. Input: chrono::DateTime. Output: f64.

6.2 Local Sidereal Time

Output in degrees 0–360. Use IAU formula via JD.

6.3 Hour Angle → Alt/Az

Standard spherical trig. Input: ra_deg, dec_deg, lst_deg, lat_deg. Output: (alt_deg, az_deg).

6.4 Airmass & Extinction

fn airmass(alt_deg: f64) -> f64 {
    // Rozenberg formula — valid to horizon
    let z = (90.0 - alt_deg).to_radians();
    1.0 / (z.cos() + 0.025 * (-11.0 * z.cos()).exp())
}

fn extinction_mag(alt_deg: f64) -> f64 {
    // k = 0.20 mag/airmass (typical Bortle 5 site)
    airmass(alt_deg) * 0.20
}

6.5 Custom Horizon Alt at Azimuth

fn horizon_alt(az_deg: f64, horizon: &[HorizonPoint]) -> f64 {
    // linear interpolation between stored 1°-resolution points
}

An object is considered visible when alt > max(MIN_ALT_DEG, horizon_alt(az)).

6.6 Sun altitude solver

Binary search to find exact UTC times when sun alt = −18° (astronomical twilight) for tonight. Use 1-minute resolution. Return (dusk_utc, dawn_utc).

6.7 Moon

struct MoonState {
    illumination: f64,      // 0.0–1.0
    age_days: f64,
    phase_name: String,     // "Waxing Crescent", "Full Moon", etc.
    ra_deg: f64,
    dec_deg: f64,
    rise_utc: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
    set_utc: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
    // above horizon currently
    alt_deg: f64,
}

Moon rise/set: step through the night window at 5-minute intervals, detect sign change in altitude, linearly interpolate crossing.

6.8 True Dark Window

fn true_dark_window(dusk: DateTime<Utc>, dawn: DateTime<Utc>, moon: &MoonState)
    -> Option<(DateTime<Utc>, DateTime<Utc>)>
{
    // Walk dusk→dawn in 5-min steps
    // True dark = sun alt < -18° AND moon alt < 0°
    // Return the longest continuous such interval
}

6.9 Meridian Flip Time (GEM28)

fn meridian_flip_utc(ra_deg: f64, lat_deg: f64, lon_deg: f64, date: DateTime<Utc>)
    -> DateTime<Utc>
{
    // Time when HA = 0 (transit) + mount's flip buffer
    // GEM28 default flip at HA = +5° past meridian
    // Return transit_utc + duration_for_ha_5deg
}

6.10 Visibility Summary per Object (tonight)

struct VisibilitySummary {
    max_alt_deg: f64,
    transit_utc: DateTime<Utc>,
    rise_utc: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,    // above custom horizon
    set_utc: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
    best_start_utc: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,  // alt > 30°
    best_end_utc: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
    usable_min: u32,
    is_visible_tonight: bool,
    meridian_flip_utc: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
    airmass_at_transit: f64,
    extinction_at_transit: f64,
    moon_sep_deg: f64,
    curve: Vec<CurvePoint>,  // every 10 min, dusk to dawn
}

struct CurvePoint {
    utc: DateTime<Utc>,
    alt_deg: f64,
    az_deg: f64,
    airmass: f64,
    above_custom_horizon: bool,
}

7. Filter Recommendation Engine

fn recommend_filters(
    obj_type: ObjType,
    moon_illumination_pct: f64,
    moon_alt_deg: f64,
    moon_sep_deg: f64,
) -> Vec<FilterRecommendation> {
    // Returns ordered recommendations with reason strings
}

struct FilterRecommendation {
    filter_id: String,
    suitability: Suitability,   // Ideal, Good, Marginal, Unsuitable
    reason: String,
    warning: Option<String>,
}

Decision matrix (implement exactly):

Moon %	Object type	Order
0–25	emission/snr/pn	sv220, c2, sv260, uvir
25–60	emission/snr/pn	sv220, c2, sv260
60–95	emission/snr/pn	sv220, c2
>95	emission/snr/pn	sv220 only
0–40	galaxy/reflection	uvir, sv260
40–55	galaxy/reflection	sv260, uvir
>55	galaxy/reflection	sv260 (warn: moon very high); skip uvir
any	open_cluster	uvir, sv260
any	globular_cluster	uvir, sv260
any	dark_nebula	uvir

Additional flags:

• moon_proximity_warning: true if moon_sep_deg < 30°
• moon_below_horizon_bonus: true if moon_alt_deg < 0° (upgrade marginal → good)

8. Processing Workflow Definitions

struct Workflow {
    name: &'static str,
    steps: &'static [&'static str],
    plugins: &'static [(&'static str, &'static str)], // (plugin, one-line purpose)
    notes: &'static str,
}

Define these workflows (map from (obj_type, filter_id) → workflow):

BROADBAND_OSC (galaxy/reflection + uvir or sv260): steps: WBPP → SPCC (GAIA DR3) → BlurXTerminator → NoiseXTerminator v3 → GHS → DarkStructureEnhance → StarXTerminator (optional) → SetiAstro Statistical Stretch

HA_OIII_DUAL (emission + sv220): steps: WBPP → DBXtract (Ha + OIII channels) → SPCC on each channel → NarrowBandNormalization → BlurXTerminator per channel → NoiseXTerminator v3 → StarXTerminator → HOO composition (Ha→R, OIII→G+B) → GHS

SII_OIII_DUAL (emission + c2): steps: WBPP → DBXtract (SII + OIII channels) → NarrowBandNormalization → BlurXTerminator → NoiseXTerminator v3 → StarXTerminator → SHO-like composition (SII→R, Ha from sv220 if available→G, OIII→B) → GHS note: "Combine OIII from C2 with OIII from SV220 if both sessions available. SII at 15nm is faint — prioritize long integrations."

CLUSTER (open/globular + uvir): steps: WBPP → SPCC → BlurXTerminator (star-optimised) → NoiseXTerminator v3 → GHS (gentle S-curve only) → no star removal

9. External API Integrations

9.1 7timer ASTRO API (weather intelligence)

Endpoint:

http://www.7timer.info/bin/api.pl?lon=4.1167&lat=43.8167&product=astro&output=json

No API key required. Poll every 3 hours. Store raw JSON in weather_cache.

Parse and display these fields per forecast slot (3-hourly, 8 days):

• cloudcover (1–9 → clear to overcast)
• seeing (1–8 → excellent to bad, map to arcsec)
• transparency (1–8)
• lifted_index (atmospheric stability, negative = unstable)
• rh2m (relative humidity at 2m)
• temp2m
• wind10m → speed + direction

Go/No-go logic:

fn go_nogo(cloudcover: u8, seeing: u8, transparency: u8) -> GoNogo {
    if cloudcover <= 2 && seeing <= 3 && transparency <= 3 { GoNogo::Go }
    else if cloudcover <= 4 && seeing <= 5 { GoNogo::Marginal }
    else { GoNogo::NoGo }
}

9.2 Open-Meteo current conditions (dew point alert)

Endpoint:

https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast
  ?latitude=43.8167&longitude=4.1167
  &current=temperature_2m,relative_humidity_2m,dew_point_2m
  &wind_speed_unit=ms

No API key required. Poll every 15 minutes.

Dew point alert logic:

fn dew_alert(temp_c: f64, dew_point_c: f64) -> Option<DewAlert> {
    let margin = temp_c - dew_point_c;
    if margin < 2.0 { Some(DewAlert::Critical) }
    else if margin < 4.0 { Some(DewAlert::Warning) }
    else { None }
}

10. Background Jobs (Tokio tasks)

10.1 Catalog Refresh (weekly)

• Check catalog.fetched_at on startup
• If > 7 days old or table empty: fetch OpenNGC CSVs, parse, rebuild catalog table
• Log progress to stdout

10.2 Nightly Precomputation (daily at astronomical dusk)

Tokio task sleeping until computed dusk time each day, then running:

1. Compute tonight's sun/moon window (dusk, dawn, moon rise/set, true dark)
2. Upsert tonight table
3. Load custom horizon from DB
4. For every catalog object: compute full VisibilitySummary
5. Upsert all rows into nightly_cache for today's date
6. Compute recommended filter per object given moon state
7. Log: "Nightly precompute complete: N objects processed in Xs"

Also precompute the next 90 nights (without full visibility curve — just max_alt_deg, transit_utc, usable_min, recommended_filter) for the seasonal calendar.

10.3 Weather Poll (every 3 hours)

Fetch 7timer + Open-Meteo. Upsert weather_cache. Compute go/nogo.

10.4 Dew Point Poll (every 15 minutes)

Only fetches Open-Meteo current conditions. Update weather_cache.dew_point_c.

---

11. PHD2 Log Parser

PHD2 writes a CSV with a header block then data columns: Frame,Time,mount,dx,dy,RARawDistance,DECRawDistance,RAGuideDistance,DECGuideDistance, RADuration,RADirection,DECDuration,DECDirection,XStep,YStep,StarMass,SNR,ErrorCode

pub struct Phd2Analysis {
    pub duration_min: u32,
    pub total_frames: u32,
    pub rms_ra_arcsec: f64,
    pub rms_dec_arcsec: f64,
    pub rms_total_arcsec: f64,
    pub peak_error_arcsec: f64,
    pub star_lost_count: u32,
    pub mean_snr: f64,
    pub drift_ra_arcsec_per_min: f64,
    pub drift_dec_arcsec_per_min: f64,
}

Parse the CSV, skip ErrorCode != 0 rows (guide star lost events — count them), compute RMS for RA and Dec columns in arcsec (multiply pixels by plate scale only if pixel scale is embedded in the PHD2 header — otherwise use arcsec columns if available). Store in phd2_logs table.

The /api/phd2/upload endpoint accepts multipart form upload of the .log file.

---

12. Image Gallery

Images stored on disk at /data/gallery/{catalog_id}/{filename}. The Docker volume maps /data to a NAS path.

Accepted formats: JPEG, PNG, TIFF (convert TIFF to JPEG on ingest via the image crate). Max size: 50 MB per file.

Return gallery images via /api/gallery/{catalog_id}/{filename} with Cache-Control: max-age=31536000.

15.2 Design System

Aesthetic direction: Deep-space observatory. Industrial-refined dark UI. Feels like a professional astronomy workstation, not a consumer app. Monospace coordinates. Amber accent on black. Sparse, purposeful layout.

Typefaces (load from Google Fonts):

• Display / nav labels: "Syne" — geometric, authoritative
• Body / data: "IBM Plex Mono" — coordinates, numbers, timestamps feel native
• Prose / notes: "IBM Plex Sans" — readable at small sizes

CSS custom properties:

:root {
  /* Backgrounds */
  --bg-void:     #080a0f;    /* page bg — near black with blue tint */
  --bg-deep:     #0d1017;    /* primary panels */
  --bg-panel:    #111520;    /* cards */
  --bg-row:      #141825;    /* table rows */
  --bg-hover:    #1a2035;

  /* Accent palette */
  --amber:       #e8832a;    /* primary — warm, telescope-brass */
  --amber-dim:   #7a4415;
  --amber-glow:  rgba(232,131,42,0.12);
  --blue:        #4d9de0;    /* secondary — cool sky */
  --blue-dim:    #1a3d5c;
  --teal:        #2ab8a0;    /* tertiary */

  /* Semantic */
  --good:        #3dba72;
  --warn:        #e8c030;
  --danger:      #e05252;
  --info:        #4d9de0;
  --muted:       #3a4258;

  /* Text */
  --text-hi:     #edf0f5;
  --text-mid:    #8892a8;
  --text-lo:     #4a5268;
  --text-amber:  #e8832a;

  /* Borders */
  --border:      #1e2538;
  --border-hi:   #2e3858;

  /* Type */
  --font-display: 'Syne', sans-serif;
  --font-mono:    'IBM Plex Mono', monospace;
  --font-sans:    'IBM Plex Sans', sans-serif;
}

Grid: left sidebar (220px, fixed) + main content area. No top navbar.

Motion: Subtle only. Row expand with max-height CSS transition (200ms ease). Drawer tabs fade in (150ms). No page transitions. No loading skeletons that bounce.

Type badges: each object type gets a distinctive pill:

• GX: --blue bg, "GX" label
• EN: --teal bg, "EN"
• PN: --good bg, "PN"
• SNR: --amber bg, "SNR"
• GC: #9b59b6 bg, "GC"
• OC: #f1c40f bg dark text, "OC"
• RN: #e67e22 bg, "RN"
• DN: --muted bg, "DN"

Quality flag chips:

• keeper: --good bg + checkmark
• needs_more: --blue bg + arrow
• rejected: --danger bg + cross
• pending: --muted bg + dot

• ★: difficulty 1–5 as dot cluster
• ALT NOW: live, updates every 30s, color-coded
• VIS BAR: 80px inline SVG showing tonight arc
• QUALITY: quality chip from last log entry, or "—" if never imaged

Rows with is_visible_tonight = false: opacity 0.35, italic, pushed to bottom.

Click anywhere on row → expands detail drawer below (accordion, one open at a time).

16.3 Detail Drawer (4 tabs)

Tab 1 — Tonight

• Altitude curve (Recharts LineChart): x = dusk to dawn UTC, y = 0–90°
  • Custom horizon line (from DB, render as step function)
  • 15° line (dashed muted)
  • 30° line (dashed good)
  • Moon altitude curve (dimmed --blue line)
  • Object altitude curve: colored segment: >30° = --good, 15–30° = --warn, <15° = --danger
  • Vertical line at current time (--amber)
  • Meridian flip marker (--amber dashed vertical)
  • True dark window shaded background region (subtle --amber-glow)
• Key times table (monospace): Rise / Transit / Set / Best window / Flip / Moon sep
• Airmass at transit + extinction in magnitudes

Tab 2 — Target

• Left: DSS image thumbnail (fetch from STScI DSS endpoint) https://archive.stsci.edu/cgi-bin/dss_search?v=poss2ukstu_red&r={ra}&d={dec}&e=J2000&h={fov_h_arcmin}&w={fov_w_arcmin}&f=gif
• Right: metadata table (type, constellation, RA/Dec sexagesimal + decimal, size, mag, SB, hubble type)
• Below: Aladin Lite embed (lazy-init on tab open) Survey: P/DSS2/color. FOV: 4.0°. Draw amber rectangle 2.75°×1.84° centered on target. If mosaic: draw all panels as individual rectangles with overlap shading.
• Guiding context badge: star density + note e.g. "Sparse field — OAG may struggle. Consider bright guide star nearby."

Tab 3 — Filters & Workflow Filter recommendation table (all 4 filters, ordered by suitability):

[FILTER NAME]  [SUITABILITY PILL]  [REASON]  [EST. INTEGRATION]  [SESSIONS NEEDED]

Integration estimates table:

// hours to usable result: Bortle 5, f/6.9, OSC
galaxy:            { uvir: 4.0, sv260: 6.0 }
emission_nebula:   { sv220: 3.0, c2: 4.0, sv260: 8.0, uvir: 12.0 }
reflection_nebula: { uvir: 3.0, sv260: 5.0 }
planetary_nebula:  { sv220: 2.0, c2: 3.0 }
snr:               { sv220: 5.0, c2: 6.0 }
open_cluster:      { uvir: 1.0 }
globular_cluster:  { uvir: 1.5 }

Tab 4 — Log & Gallery Two sub-columns:

• Left: Session log list (most recent first). Each entry: date · filter pill · duration · quality chip · guiding RMS if available · notes. Edit button on each. Add session form at top: date picker · filter select · duration (min) · quality select · notes · PHD2 log file upload (optional) · Save. Total accumulated: "X sessions · Y h Z min total"
• Right: Image gallery grid. Thumbnail grid (3 cols). Click → lightbox fullscreen. Upload zone (drag-and-drop or click) with JPEG/PNG/TIFF accept.

16.4 Calendar Page

12-month grid (or 3-month depending on API param). Each month = a calendar grid. Each day cell shows:

• Moon phase icon (SVG crescent drawn from illumination %)
• Usable dark hours bar (0–8h range, colored by go/nogo if forecast available)
• Color-coded bg: full dark (>4h) = deep teal; partial dark = amber; full moon = muted

Clicking a day → side panel showing:

• That night's summary (dusk/dawn, moon rise/set, true dark window)
• Top 10 targets for that night (pre-computed)
• Weather forecast for that night (7timer data)

Lunar cycle overlay: new moon nights have a ● marker. Full moon nights ○. Best narrowband nights (illumination < 20%) highlighted with --amber border.

16.5 Statistics Page

Header stat cards (from SQL aggregates):

• Total sessions logged
• Total integration time (h)
• Objects imaged (unique catalog_ids with at least one keeper)
• Filters usage pie (Recharts PieChart)

Charts:

• Integration per month (bar chart, last 12 months)
• Object type breakdown (horizontal bar)
• Filter usage per target type (stacked bar)
• Guiding RMS over time (scatter plot from phd2_logs — x = date, y = rms_total)
• Best and worst seeing nights correlation chart (7timer seeing vs guiding RMS)

Target list ordered by: most integrated · most sessions · most recent

Quality breakdown table: keeper vs needs_more vs rejected per object type.

16.6 Settings Page

Custom Horizon:

• Interactive polar chart (SVG) showing current horizon profile
• Upload CSV button: format az_deg,alt_deg one row per degree
• Manual edit mode: click on the polar chart to set a horizon point
• Reset to flat 15° button
• Preview: shows how current horizon affects tonight's top 10 targets

App info:

• Catalog stats: N objects, last refreshed date, Refresh now button
• DB path, DB size
• Backend version

---

17. New Moon Calendar View

Accessible from the Calendar page as a "New Moon" toggle. Shows the next 12 months as a horizontal timeline. Each lunar cycle (29.5 days) rendered as a row with:

• Dark green zone: illumination < 20% (prime narrowband window)
• Amber zone: 20–50%
• Red zone: >50% (broadband only)
• Markers: new moon date, first/last quarter, full moon date

Overlay: for each new moon window, show the 3 best emission nebula targets that transit highest in that window (from the seasonal precomputed data).

18. What NOT to Build

• No NINA integration or sequence export
• No planetary or solar targets
• No mono / LRGB workflows
• No user authentication
• No cloud sync
• No mobile layout (desktop-first, min-width 1280px)
• No live telescope control
• No PixInsight scripting automation

---

19. Code Quality Standards

Rust:

• Edition 2021
• thiserror for error types, anyhow for application-level errors
• tracing + tracing-subscriber for structured logging
• tokio multi-thread runtime
• All DB access via sqlx with compile-time query checking (query! macro)
• No unwrap() in non-test code — use ? operator throughout
• Separate AppState struct passed via Axum state
• Run cargo clippy -- -D warnings clean

React / TypeScript:

• Strict TypeScript ("strict": true)
• All API responses typed via interfaces mirroring Rust structs
• react-query for all data fetching — no raw useEffect fetches
• Components under 200 lines; extract sub-components aggressively
• No inline styles except for dynamic values (chart colors, animation delays)
• All CSS in *.module.css files or tokens.css custom properties

Both:

• Comments in English
• No secrets or API keys in code (all external APIs used are keyless)
