Research And Design Of Telescope Remote Control System Based On RTS2 For Astronomical Location

It is necessary to do the prophase observation analysis work while observatory site meets the requirements of Astronomical telescope, so as to determine whether the new sites suitable for the construction of the next generation of large telescopes. The astronomical site selection needs a lot of abservatory data so it requires observers to observe the goal for a long time, however, astronomical site generally located in very tough conditions:remote, harsh, the life and living conditions is very poor, therefore if required the observation personnel in new sites for field observation of control for a long time that will make the job more difficult. So the remote and autonomous telescope control greatly lowers the requirements for personnel and improve the observation quality and brings the vital significance to the astronomical site selection.RTS2(Remote Telescope System2nd version-Remote Telescope System2nd version) is an open source software telescope observations autonomous system, is also very popular self-observation telescope, developed to run under the Linux operating system, the aim is to achieve Telescope observations of fully autonomous control, in this paper we increase the remote control modules to meet the needs of astronomy site and the research content includes the following aspects:1.Realization of RTS2self-observation remote access based on XML-RPC, taking the services process of XML-RPCD as a server, completing the design of server. Then developing and completing the client interface design. It is entirely feasible that remote access techniques for RTS2autonomous observation software system based on the XML-RPC through the test2.To further extend the RTS2remote access mode and meet the needs of different user choice, we also achieve the RTS2independent observations remote access based on WebSocket through the web. Firstly introduces the WebSocket protocol design in RTS2, and then explains RTS2server implementations based on WebSocket, finally realizes the Web terminal system under real-time system for RTS2monitoring.In short, by the above two terminal system can achieve RTS2autonomous observation remote access, the client based on XML-RPC is a Application software.The client based on WebSocket is suitable for Web access and control, the results show that no matter which method can be successful in completion of the telescope remotely operation.The study will provide researchers with a variety of options, and lay the foundation for the subsequent expansion of RTS2.
