Example 1

Plot color image of the Antennae galaxies

coords_antennae <- ps1_mast_resolve('Antennae')

ps1_image_color(
  coords_antennae$ra, 
  coords_antennae$dec, 
  format = 'png', 
  size = 600
) |> 
  magick::image_read() |> 
  magick::image_resize("400x400")

Example 2

Making guidance picture

1. Get coords of the KQ Uma

coords_uma <- ps1_mast_resolve('KQ Uma')
coords_uma
#> $ra
#> [1] 139.3343
#> 
#> $decl
#> [1] 68.63514
img_url <- ps1_image_url(
  coords_uma$ra, 
  coords_uma$dec, 
  size = 1280, 
  filter = "r", 
  format = "fits"
)
fits_obj <- FITSio::readFITS(img_url)

2. Fix header

FITS image headers use the obsolete PC001001, PC001002, etc., keywords for the WCS. We should fix (add some keywords to headers) it to plot right using magicaxis package

fix_header <- function(header) {
  # FITSio --> obj$hdr

  is_header_ok <- any(grepl("CD1_1", header))

  if (is_header_ok) {
    return(header)
  } else {
    PC001001 <- header[which(header == "PC001001") + 1] |> as.numeric()
    CDELT1 <- header[which(header == "CDELT1") + 1] |>as.numeric()
    CD1_1 <- (PC001001 * CDELT1) |> sprintf(fmt = "%.14e")

    CD1_2 <- "0"
    CD2_1 <- "0"

    PC002002 <- header[which(header == "PC002002") + 1] |> as.numeric()
    CDELT2 <- header[which(header == "CDELT2") + 1] |> as.numeric()
    CD2_2 <- (PC002002 * CDELT2) |> sprintf(fmt = "%.14e")

    start_i <- which(header == "CDELT1") - 1
    end_i <- length(header)

    # header1 <- header[1:start_i]
    # header2 <- header[start_i:end_i]

    header <- c(
      header,
      "CD1_1", CD1_1,
      "CD1_2", CD1_2,
      "CD2_1", CD2_1,
      "CD2_2", CD2_2
    )
    
    return(header)
  }
}

Plot the image guidance

It is example how to make a guidance plot. You should wrap it in your function for best practice.

oma_old <- par('oma')
mar_old <- par('mar')
par(oma = c(0, 0, 0, 0), mar = c(0, 0, 0, 0))
# Convert source coords_uma from (RA, DEC) to image coords (X,Y)
src <- celestial::radec2xy(
    RA = coords_uma$ra,
    Dec = coords_uma$dec,
    header = fix_header(fits_obj$hdr)
  )

# Plot image
magicaxis::magimage(
    fits_obj$imDat,
    asp = 1,
    flip = T,
    stretch = 'log',
    type = 'quan',
    lo=0.6,
    hi = 0.99,,
    grid.lwd = 0,
    axes=F)

# Add compass to image
magicaxis::magimageWCSCompass(header = fix_header(fits_obj$hdr))

# Add red circle around our source 
points(x = src[1], 
         y = src[2], 
         cex = 2, 
         col = "red", 
         lwd = 1)

# Add arrow to point out on our source
arrows(x0 = src[1],
         y0 = src[2] + 50,
         x1 = src[1],
         y1 = src[2]+2.5,
         length = .1,
         lwd = 1.5,
         col = 'red')

# Add text to picture
text(x = ncol(fits_obj$imDat)/2,
       y = nrow(fits_obj$imDat)-50,
       label = 'KQ Uma')

par(oma = oma_old, mar = mar_old)
