Hi all,
Does anyone know where I can read wiki for RoboTarget and RoboTarget Manager. I do see videos by Leo, but is there anything written in Wiki? More specifically, I am looking for the explanations of various lines in the Ephemeris in the RoboTarget.
Thank you,
Grigory

I haven't seen any information about this on Wiki. There's a video by Rowland Archer about Voyager Advanced, which includes a demo and a bit about Robotarget. The Ephemeris data is at the 47-minute mark (but maybe somewhere else during the presentation). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN9aIoNi_5w&t=21s
There is also information on his blog - https://tourstar.net/part-4-running-voyagers-robotarget/
True, this is all relatively old - 2022…

Hi Grigory
take a look at section 12.9 in the pdf manual

From claude.ai : Excellent question! I found information about the Voyager software. In the target graph widget of the Voyager software, the different colored lines have the following meaning:
Cyan curved line: represents the target's altitude during the night
Green vertical line: marks the time the target rises
Cyan vertical line: marks the time of the target's transit (passage through the meridian)
Red vertical line: marks the time the target sets
Orange vertical line: indicates the current altitude of the target
Orange dotted curved line: represents the target's azimuth
If you use the RoboTarget function, the graph can also display additional information:
Yellow line: Moon altitude
Magenta line: Moon phase (scale from 0 to 100%)
Blue line: Distance of the Moon from the target (in degrees)
These graphs help you plan your observations by quickly visualizing the visibility conditions of your target throughout the night.
Clear skies !
There are numerous videos that Leo has posted at https://software.starkeeper.it/voyager-video-list/
Thank you very much for your answers! I found what was not clear to me. It is target azimuth line.
I appreciate the responses and possibly I may ask another question. As I understand ephemeris of a target is visible when a sequence in RoboTarget is run. Is there a way to ephemeris when you are not running any targets? It would help to plan and assign priorities to the targets. Thanks!
I use Stellarium to see where a target is at any time on any given date when selecting a target.
Yes, of course, I can use Stellarium, but I cannot see all the targets with the ephemeris that I can compare. Thanks for this.
