Description
A new widget is needed to present in a running dashboard several representations of the current datetime. It should present several types of clocks each with a different time:
- the current local time
- UTC
- International Atomic Time, TAI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Atomic_Time)
- Local Sidereal Time, based on the longitude of the telescope (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_time)
Configuration options
Users would have to be able to say
- which clocks to display,
- in what kind of layout (horizontal, with certain amout of space in between) or vertical
- what font style and size and color to use for each clock
- format and precision of time (number of digits) of each clock (eg isoformat down to ms)
- refresh rate of each clock
- coordinates when using the Local Sidereal Time
