Previous approach: scan a 3-day window, find best moon detection,
use that timestamp. Problems: fuzzy composite (multi-day scan could
pick a frame far from actual full moon), no clear tie between the
NASA render and a specific observable moment.
New approach — MOON_OBS_TIME_LOCAL (default 22:30 local):
On the night of the exact phase event, look at east frames in a
±MOON_OBS_WINDOW_MIN (default 30 min) window around the configured
time. The frame closest to that time determines atmosphere opacity;
the same time (rounded to hour) drives the NASA Dial-a-Moon fetch.
This gives one definitive moment per phase per month.
moon_phase_monthly.py:
- PHASE_SPEC stripped to just post_delay + enabled_key (all window/
illumination filtering removed — obs time is the only selector)
- run_phase() replaced with obs-time logic; opacity derived from
detect_moon quality on that single frame
- MOON_FULL_POST_DELAY_DAYS / MOON_QUARTER_POST_DELAY_DAYS default
changed to 1 (post morning after the phase, frames already on disk)
moon_composite.py:
- atmosphere blur default: output_width//10 (192px) → output_width//20
(96px) so cloud shapes survive the blur
sky-cam.conf:
- MOON_OBS_TIME_LOCAL=22:30, MOON_OBS_WINDOW_MIN=30
- Post delay defaults updated to 1
test_moon_composite.py:
- Tries real NASA SVS Dial-a-Moon API first; procedural disc only as
fallback if API unreachable
- Runs detect_moon on the east frame to compute real opacity
- Single output (test_composite_out.jpg)

"""test_moon_composite.py — render a phase composite using real NASA data.
|
|
|
|
Simulates what moon_phase_monthly.py does on the night of a full moon:
|
|
|
|
1. Round the obs time (22:30 local on 2026-04-29) to the nearest hour.
|
|
2. Fetch the NASA SVS Dial-a-Moon render for that UTC hour.
|
|
3. Load the east camera frame (21-07-00.jpg, captured at 21:07 UTC that night).
|
|
4. Detect atmospheric conditions → compute overlay opacity.
|
|
5. Render: NASA moon + east atmosphere overlay → test_composite_out.jpg.
|
|
|
|
Run from the sky-cam directory:
|
|
|
|
python3 test_moon_composite.py
|
|
|
|
Requires internet access to reach svs.gsfc.nasa.gov.
|
|
If the API is unreachable a procedural moon disc is used as a fallback
|
|
so the atmospheric overlay is still visible and testable.
