Description
This is more of a prompt for discussion on how the astroplan
community would like to incorporate exposure time calculator (ETC) functionality into the astropy
etc ecosystem.
One way to help frame the discussion is to consider two (of many?) possible options:
- build the capability into
astroplan
directly, e.g.: Adding an exptime calculator, Telescope class, and sky model #420 - spin it off into its own module, which allows for more functionality to be developed, image simulations, spectroscopy mode, etc. See the
gunagala
module for an example of this idea: https://gunagala.readthedocs.io/en/develop/
What do people think of this? Is astroplan
the right place for an ETC? Or is an independent, astropy
-affiliated module like gunagala
the place to spend effort? Or does the community want both?
Note, I'm leading the project ( https://huntsman.space/ ) that in part inspired @AnthonyHorton to create gunagala
. I am considering whether to seek FTE resources to bring gunagala
up to the level of an astropy
affiliated package.
Thanks in advance for sharing any thoughts or ideas you might have.
