Transforms: Are Standard Fields part of VSP?

Community

Hello! I imaged standard field GD279 in order to get transforms. When I tried to import the field directly from VSP into MPO Canopus, no stars came up.
I can manually enter the field, but I thought I would ask if such fields are part of VSP, or if there is another way to import directly as JSON or XML file. Thank you.

For the standard field you have to add &special=std_field to the API request

Normal request:
https://apps.aavso.org/vsp/api/chart/?format=json&ra=173.475392&dec=-0.032945&fov=42&maglimit=13.0000

Standard field request.
https://apps.aavso.org/vsp/api/chart/?format=json&ra=173.475392&dec=-0.032945&fov=42&maglimit=13.0000&special=std_field

I understand GD267 is at this location.
01 52 02.960
+47 00 06.64
You have to transfer the position to 0..360 degrees and put in above request ending with &special=std_field.
