Kepler Image Time Stamp

The Kepler Image Time Stamp (KITS) is an embedded receiver and antenna that plugs directly into the Kepler’s 8-pin AUX port. When the antenna has locked on to a GPS or GLONASS signal, it automatically includes the start time and stop time for an image. * The KITS module was developed to combat the relative inaccuracies of a PC’s clock, allowing the user to accurately record the initiation and length of an exposure. The module relies on GPS to set the time and synchronize the internal clock to the GPS second. * Includes the start time, latitude, and longitude in an image’s FITS header (UTC, Greenwich Time).
