hcam-finder
Observation planning and finding charts for HiPERCAM, ULTRACAM and ULTRASPEC
The hcam_finder package provides Python scripts hfinder, ufinder and usfinder for observation planning with HiPERCAM on the WHT and GTC, ULTRACAM on the NTT and ULTRASPEC on the TNT, respectively.
These tools allow you to generate finding charts as well as specify the instrument setup you require, whilst providing an estimate of observing cadence, exposure time and S/N estimates.
hcam_finder is written in Python and is based on TKinter. It should be compatible with Python2 and Python3.
Installation
The software is written as much as possible to make use of core Python components. It requires my own hcam_widgets module. It also relies on the third party libraries astropy for astronomical calculations and catalog lookup, as well as ginga for image display. Optionally, you can also use astroquery to expand the range of surveys one can download images from.
Installing using pip should take care of these dependencies. Simply install with:
pip install hcam_finder
or if you don’t have root access:
sudo pip install hcam_finder
or:
pip install --user hcam_finder
