faintStarsWithTilesfunction
The stars of some decoded tiles that lie in a round patch of sky and are as bright as a limit, brightest first, and the tile each came from. With max, the brightest max of them: the list is then complete only to depth, which is the magnitude the list is cut at.
A star whose right ascension, declination or magnitude is not a finite number is left out and counted in skipped, so that a bad tile never reaches a drawing. This is faintStarsIn with the extra facts a view with several sources needs (whose star it is).
Import it
import { faintStarsWithTiles } from "@johnmorrisdotca/hoshi-stars/faint";Definition
function faintStarsWithTiles(tiles: Iterable<FaintTile>, field: FaintField, limit?: number, max?: number): { stars: FaintStar[]; from: FaintTile[]; depth: number; skipped: number; }Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
tiles | Iterable<FaintTile> | Decoded tiles, from |
field | FaintField | The patch. |
limit (optional) | number | The faintest magnitude wanted; 12 where left out. |
max (optional) | number | The most stars to return; all of them where left out. |
Returns
{ stars: FaintStar[]; from: FaintTile[]; depth: number; skipped: number; }
The stars, from (the tile of each star, in the same order), depth (see faintStarsIn) and skipped.
Examples
import { faintStarsWithTiles, type FaintTile } from "@johnmorrisdotca/hoshi-stars/faint";
const tiles: FaintTile[] = []; // fetched and decoded
const { stars, from, skipped } = faintStarsWithTiles(tiles, { rightAscension: 83.8, declination: -5.4, radius: 1 }, 11, 2000);
