Useful scripts for observing with The Hobby-Eberly Telescope.
Currently includes the following capabilities:
- Create TSL file from a list of stars in a .csv file
- Query simbad resolvable stars to look for magnitudes, ra, dec, pmra, pmdec
- Check observability for a given set of dates
- Create findercharts
- Account for proper motions at a given epoch (HET needs current epoch RA/DEC)
See notebooks on creating an LRS2 TSL files / findercharts. Additionally, a notebook on creating HPF engineering-run TSL files is included (some caveats as HPF is currently being commissioned; see notebook).
